At 10 o'clock this morning it was 110 degrees in the plant.

I spent the morning in the office freezing my balls off.

We got a severe storm/tornado here yesterday in my part of Québec/Eastern Ontario. Over 200,000 people without power, currently 5 dead. And more injured. Plus all the trees downed and the damage. Winds were blowing at 140 km/h (that's about 87 miles/hour I think). We twigged it wasn't just a thunderstorm when the rain was blowing through our open patio door despite our 20-foot-long roof extending over our deck). Took refuge in the basement for an hour with the doggie we're dog-sitting.

A couple of our trees got blown down, but ZERO damage to the house, garage, deck or camper. Never even lost power, which boggles my mind.

3-4 pm each day will likely have some pop up showers along the coast. This is a thing as far inland as 100-120 miles. This will not be a cooling rain, it will be a humid rain and you will sweat.

With all the stuff passing to the north of us, we're getting hella wind. It's one thing to have 100F+ temps; its another to have 15-20mph winds blowing it around constantly.

It’s just the new convection service they’re trying out in your area.

The saharan dust plume just landed on my area with a resounding thud. Visibility was really in the shitter this morning.

Too many pine trees to have visibility over here. I haven’t been outside very much today, heat index has been over 100f for too much of the day.

Holy shit, I didn't even know that was a thing. I didn't realize dust from the Saharan desert could travel across the ocean like that.

Pretty much every summer. Rarity when it doesn’t. If it’s a particularly bad year we can have dirty rain that will leave everything coated with dirt IF it does rain.
