It felt noticeably cooler in the valley this afternoon due to the cloudcover. The temp was only about 1.2C lower, but the dew point was a touch lower, too. My high is 29.6C so far, but it might make a late run at 30C.

YXX dew point is all the way down to 15.2C at 5 pm, so there's some drier air filtering in.

Feels muggy out there -- especially compared to the interior.

Yep! But that's nothing compared to Eastern Canada (dew points up to 25°C today).

Currently 24.4C with a dew point of just 9.9C. :o Feels very nice, but it looks like this afternoon will be hot with the clear skies. Hopefully not muggy, at least.

I’m in Kelowna. I don’t know if this place gets a smokeless summer again. Luckily it’s not too terrible but still.

It is a nuisance Kells l recall going to The Okanagan and Kelowna in past years with no wildfire smoke whatsoever. Now it's an every summer occurrence making summer vaca in many spots in our province a no go especially if your immunal compromised. :sick: :x
