August 2021 Forecasts And Discussions

Thurs and Fri. Offshore flow looks weakish so no real mechanism to drive surface smoke to the coast. The presense of a southerly flow near 850mb before the heatwave may bring in some smoke aloft but not enough. 40C looking like a safe bet both days.

It's a bit more than a typical summer heatwave. I'd expect surface temps around 30C for a typical heatwave IMBY. Gonna push 35C here.

Hmm. Not sure if I'm hoping for smoke or not lol.

If these were equally destructive arctic blasts you're talking like 1996 + 2008 in the same winter.

What are 850s at. I’m having a tough time believing there is gonna be 40C readings west of the mountains with 850s around 24C like the other models are showing. Especially without much in the way of offshore flow. I think the hot spots in the valley top out around 37 or so unless things change in the models.

More like 1950 and 1996.

It's truly mind boggling to think some inland regions could hit 40C again this summer. What a historical summer.

Maybe 1950 and 2008? lol I'm just thankful this one is shorter lived. I can't take another two weeks of baking.

I think this heat wave will persist 4-5 days but probably only a couple days of extreme heat.

YVR kept their 21C+ streak going

When I saw the latest models kill the E winds. My immediate notice was a higher RH%. The lack of smoke + stagnant air with this heat dome will make it feel like late June again.

I expect the models to only trend warmer as we hit the home stretch.
