July 2025 Forecasts and Discussion

Well, it looks like EC was bang-on for highs in the valley. 32.9C here in Mission and just a smidge warmer in Abby.

Those morning temperature departures weren’t really predictive of anything.

Max of 31.4c here.

We topped out at 33.6c @ the pond in south Sardis today that's hot for Vancouver city Rubes.

I probably almost past you on the road! We came through on Friday evening (south down highway 40).

It's amazing how much better the highways are in Alberta! in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek and all through the Cariboo and highway 16, they do a lot of 4 laning with the lanes together (so need more traffic lights and still get head-ons)... but on the Alberta side, nice new 4 lane section south of Grande Prairie with a huge wide median so that trucks can cross two lanes, then wait and cross the other two (much much safer than in BC).

We took highway 40 instead of go through Prince George simply because of the better highways. And we spent about $200. $200 that went to Alberta and not BC. And many, many others do this as well when traveling up to the Peace region.

Even in the late 90's early 2000's travelling in to Alberta through the ice fields the roads were well maintained even Banff to Calgary or Jasper to Edmonton was excellent road conditions.

Cool and wet day across west-central Alberta. Pic # 1 at the Brazeau Dam with rain showers and temps hovering near 14c. Clearing towards Edson (pic # 2), with a mix of sun and cloud, and temps climbing close to 20c. Spotty moderate to heavy rain showers further north and west near Hinton (pic # 3), and in Grande Cache (pic # 4) with cool temps around 12c.

I don’t think I got to sleep until around 1:00 am this morning. And that was with two window fans going full blast. Would hate to think of what kind of sweat box my place would have been without the fans.

Around 30c again this afternoon but dew point has fallen today so much more comfortable. Hopefully the drier air will cool down faster tonight.

Even in the basement it was hot here last night. Very thankful for my A/C.
