While there is still some uncertainty as to the intensity and duration, next weeks heatwave is likely locked in.

Models still having trouble now there are 2 northward moving typhoons and a hurricane in a rare course moving from east to west across the North Pacific. Models gonna be thrown for a loop. A total crapshoot. Bet on normal which is dry with a few hot days then cool down then more potential hot days. Normal August.

Agreed. While I do think the likely scenario is for 5 to 7 days of low to mid 30's, there is also the potential for the heatwave to either bust entirely or end up a bit more intense than models are showing. It's a complex and fragile setup that the models are trying to resolve.

I'll take the hurricane Cmen79 we reached a high of 25c at the pond in south Sardis.

EC is going for 32c to 35c all next week in the Similkameeeens. It's ok i will be local buttees. Only 30c to 33c in Abby...not bad. Just need to water it down a little more and we're good!

I say this every year around this time, but the lower sun angles are making it look a bit like fall and gives me that feeling of summer is fleeting. Every year, mid-August, I get this feeling, haha.

Of course it doesn’t feel anything like fall!

Definitely felt a bit of a crisp this morning. I prefer August Heatwave's longer nights help a lot.
