l know Mr. Bird and why it's continually used is beyond me and frustrating E.C. has to know it's highly inaccurate. :wtf: :x

It's the raw data itself from EC.

Easier method is to wait until 10-11pm when EC publishes the prior day data on the website.

Nice to see everyone on this lovely summer evening. Current observations: it's 12:42 am and a balmy 22C here in Maple Ridge. Sleeping on a floaty in the pool sounds tempting right about now.

I've had busy summer. Lots of travelling. I spent 8 days in NYC and got to experience what it's like to sweat nonstop in the humidity. I happened to be there on NYC hottest day of the summer so far. The heat index was 105F. But it was worth the suffering because that evening I got to also experience an incredible east coast thunderstorm. I have NEVER seen that much lightning in my life. It was constant with a strike every half second or so. The only downside was the thunder was relatively quiet since NYC is so loud! Even strikes overhead kinda got muffled from the buildings and drowned out by all the honking and city noise. Even still, it was amazing.

I spent a week in Osoyoos (before the fire) and almost got bit by a rattlesnake. I was walking on a cement path with shrubs lining the edges when I suddenly heard the LOUD rattle. I looked over and a rattlesnake was poised in the strike position about a foot away from my ankle! Let me tell you...I didn't know I could run as fast as I did. :lol:

Anyway, it's been a busy summer but I wanted to say hello to my weather friends. Stay cool out there!

Wow! :shock: that's awesome Mrs. Bugs glad you got to experience NYC plus a decent thunderstorm well minus the rattlesnake in Osoyoos.
Sounds like your health is better? :thumbup: yes it's just another normal westcoast summer mini heat humps 0 thunderstorms drought conditions, water restrictions, camp fire bans, forest fires "sigh." :x

I think you're right John. That was once in a lifetime..just like us getting 30 days of winter and cold and snow..with 120cm and basically no rain..will also be once in a lifetime. I'm still waiting for this 30 days of winter many decades now :think:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)
