This has been such a great week with warm weather and sunshine that the thread is relatively quiet. Tonight is apparently another chance at seeing northern lights.

The 12z Euro showing some solid rainfall amounts next week with onshore flow. The central coast especially is gonna be soaked but we are on the southern edge of it.

Thank you Mr. Cmen69 for your in depth analysis l don't mind the nice weather but 27c for the central valley on Friday is absolutely absurd for the end of April.

Sun looks pretty quiet right now.

I miss the days of prestine blue sky. It seems like we now see smog and haze build up whenever we get into high pressure.

I have a vivid memory of being in one of those plastic swimming pools in the 80's and looking up at the sky. It was so deep blue it actually looked purple. That effect was probably a bit exaggerated, but I also looked at some old pictures I have and the sky seemed much deeper blue than it does today. The sky always seems to have that milky look nowadays, except for a few times during the winter when it actually clears out completely. But we rarely seem to get cloudless skies with our arctic outbreaks nowadays.

I recall living at Victoria Dr. and E. 64th ave the summer skies were milky but due to all the industries pumping smoke out along the Fraser river stretch back then afew mills dotted the banks of the mighty Fraser river. If you go back and look at the observations for YVR late 60's they observed smoke quite often.

Prior to the 1970s, smoke & haze during the summertime was also oftentimes due to wildfires in the interior.

1958 and 1967 in particular were notable -- see links for more: viewtopic.php?t=1751 + viewtopic.php?t=1761
