The Official Weather Thread

So I always hear people say you're not allowed to complain about the heat in Canada because it gets cold too.

So how hot and humid does it have to be before you're allowed to say "I'm actually very uncomfortable sweating 24/7 and not enjoying this" ?

I probably complain about the extreme heat much more than I complain about the extreme cold.  I'd much rather be too cold than too hot.  Especially those times I had jobs working outdoors.
 
I work for an airline and have obviously done some traveling and I don't recall 9:20 am being hotter anywhere else I've been to in the world. - Should be really fun in a couple of hours!
 
Just say outside for 5 min. and was afraid to get up for fear my man-parts would slide out of the bottom of my pant leg.
 
Yesterday's high at Pearson airport was 35.1. Already today it is 34.9.

Some clouds are rolling around up there too. Hopefully that will keep the temps from getting too ridiculous. And it is pretty windy, too.
 
One of my favourite hot weather lines ever, from Biloxi Blues with Mathew Broderick as Eugene Jerome.... "Man it's hot. It's like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't take this kind of hot."

I took on an extra job this week, painting the exterior of a building, heavy corrugated steel for the most part.

I worked 3 hours today and called it quits, even shade was bristling.

Guess it's true, I'm never going to Dubai...

How was the pay?
 
When the ice cream truck showed up to work today, the brass decided to spring for the building. The lucky owner of that truck sold about 500 ice creams. The poor girl in the window... I've never seen someone so frazzled!

Traded for band gear, decent ratio but on contract so the hours don't matter as much as my hide, at least today.

What kind of band gear has got you on a roof in the thick of the worst heat wave on record? I hope its like a Leslie or something...

Looks like more of the same weather for the rest of the summer.....

When it comes to the weather, Canadians can expect August to pick up where July left off.

That means warmer than normal temperatures for most of eastern and central Canada, plus cooler, damper days for much of Newfoundland and Labrador, Alberta and British Columbia, said Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips.

"Those people who have fairly good summer weather, it looks like its going to continue and those who have been waiting for it are going to have to be a bit more patient," said Phillips.

On the plus side, people who've been experiencing soggy, spring-like conditions in parts of Alberta and British Columbia can look forward to an improvement in the weather during August, but the change isn't likely to be a dramatic one.

Nonetheless, temperatures out west are predicted to rise over the next month with at least a few dry, sunny days on the horizon.

....parts of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are expected to be slightly cooler than normal in August, but a good chunk of eastern and central Canada is forecast to continue the warm, dry spell experienced in July.
