[AbbyJr]

I hit 36C today. Too hot for me but hearing we may see lightning in the lower mainland tonight. Hoping for a good light show

[Leighbugs]

I beat my station record! 37.1C, hottest day ever on my station.

41.2°C in Lytton.

And 54.4°C in Furnace Creek. If verified, it will be a new WORLD record (reliable).

Quite pleasant here, didn't quite reach 28. It was hotter during the last SWS.

This is what I caught on the Wundermap just before 4 PM. No doubt it was a hot one there, plenty of probably reliable readings around the 35 mark.

Yeah looking at that map, 35/36C in Coquitlam is probably pretty accurate.

FWIW My crappy home thermometer recorded a high of 36.5C today

[Hound]

it's 8pm and both my thermometers are reading 30c outside! DAMN!
I don't know if I should open my windows since inside the house its 25.6
38% Humid outside, 58% humid inside!

I would say 34-35°C.

Note that the 41.2°C in Lytton are only 0.6°C below the provincial monthly record (41.8°C in Lytton in 2004).

22.5 C and starting to lightly sprinkle!

Edit: heavy rain now...can still see blue sky, must be a rain cloud parked overhead!

Edit: Thunder!!!

Not too many people excited about the thunderstorm threat tonight? I’m already seeing multiple distant flashes!

I would be excited, but have been disapointed way too many times.

[Radar]

Some big flashes over towards Baker.

I know what you mean, but usually the initial dry thunderstorms last much longer with way more strikes. I’ve seen 6 or 7 so far in the last bit, also multiple locations not just one thunderhead! Lots of lightning in Abby that I can see from my view.

Lightning!!! And very distant thunder rumbling. Looks like it's over the island: https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en# ... ;dl=2;dc=0;
