I might be moving back to Maple Ridge next month after several years in Langley

Ah man sorry to hear that Stuffs unless it's a positive.
I remember years ago when you were just a wee pea on your acerage in east M.R. and going for 10km runs in any weather.

Burn it you mean

Blow it up Weeds.

Did you just fix the "general error" thing? Couldn't log in on my phone for the last 24 hrs and couldn't post an hour ago on my tablet. Both seem to be working now.

Currently 24°

Yes I did

Now I'm only going on 4.5 km runs from time to time as energy allows

Looking like ~30c +/- inland for the next 7 days...mid May. Is this a sign of another brutal summer with more record shattering temps, droughts, smoke and fires?

My grass is already dying.

yep, and most summers from here on out. When was the last cooler than average summer? Or wetter than average? 2011?

My grass is already dying.

Mine died @ the pond from my puppy peeing and crapping on it.
It's a roasty toasty 24c @ the only pond in south Sardis.

Time to switch to some drought safe landscape Neetz!

Yes most likely. The new normal. The glaciers in SW BC won't last another 30 years.

Yes, you're right it was 2011, but many of those hot and dry summers were followed by wet September's and October's. Not last year, though of course.

I know we keep beating this horse but there's something seriously wrong with the YVR station location. It's so overexposed to the sea breeze for some reason. I'm pretty sure literally a couple hundred metres inland from the immediate shore would be 4-5C warmer...

The current YVR temperature of 21° seems absurd , it's at least 28° everywhere else...although I do see some 23's and 24's for Richmond,Ladner,and Tsawwassen . I'm at 28° but White Rock weather station at 30°.
