I hit 35-37 with humidity multiple times last heatwave wasn't fun lolForrest Gump wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 9:56 pm High humidity like the folks experience back east rarely happens around here. I highly doubt Richmond recorded anything close to 37° this summer. White Rock/South Surrey/Tsawwassen maybe had a cupla days of 30-32° so far.

I wish I was the same but if it's extremely hot at night I'll be awake till 4 am sufferingTypeing3 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 9:49 pm I definitely don't like excessive humidity and would rather avoid extremely warm nights too. Though I guess I'm lucky as I don't have much trouble sleeping when it's warm in the house (as in >25c), as I frequently see others do so warm nights don't bother me too much.
For me, a summer day with a high/low of 35c/12c with low humidity would be nice.

Re: August 2022 Forecasts and Discussions
Moving isn’t really a realistic option because of ties to my job and extended family. If that was not the case, then yeah, I could. Also, complaints about the weather and the demise of our climate does not or should not equate to an automatic suggestion to move. In my opinion.Forrest Gump wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 10:18 pm We live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world , can you see yourself living anywhere else?
How you liking the small town/remote feel to Gibsons/Sechelt? Can you see yourself moving there?

I can’t think of any cosmopolitan cities anywhere in North America as close to as many mountains and islands. And most cities in North America badly damaged their downtowns by ramming multiple freeways through them.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Welp.. jack squat on radar. Of course, we miss out on any storms once again. Honestly, how pathetic is this place for any exciting weather. All we get is rain or heat.

Re: August 2022 Forecasts and Discussions
I agree with you. As locals we hear a lot of about our local problems and focus on those. Vancouver isn't perfect, but it doesn't deserve the "pile of steaming garbage" moniker.Rubus_Leucodermis wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 10:40 pm Nothing special? As a newcomer, I disagree.

That being said almost any European city would outclass us. I chose therefore to highlight where you said North America.

As far as the socioeconomic status of Vancouver, I don’t think this is the thread or forum for that.

I think you have to drive on a gravel road for about 30 kilometres, then you'll see a sign that says ,
