... but there's a heat warning in effect in Canada's capital city for this weekend. That means the forecast high temperature with the humidex factored in is expected to climb above blood temperature for at least two days in a row.
If it happens, this will be the hottest September 23 and 24 on record in Ottawa. Records started being kept in 1939.
And the beaches are closed. (The lifeguards have gone back to school.)
And the heat warning has been extended. Add September 25 and 26 to that list of "hottest on record" if the forecast is right.
And we've finally got a chance at a "high in the 50s" day here in Denver... normally we've seen a (piddling) snowfall by now, with temperatures to match.
And tonight is supposed to be our first snowfall of the season. We'll see how it goes.
Going to be over 80F here the day after tomorrow -- and the next day 30F cooler.
Feeling whipsawed even out here in California. Days in the 80's to 90's, nights in the high 50's low 60's. NOT exactly fun in an area where one is used to a slightly narrower temperature range.
Not enough snow to overcome the retained heat in the pavement... but I've spent collectively, between this morning and getting home from work (mostly the latter), probably fifteen minutes clearing broken and fallen branches from our two silver maple trees because the snow that fell was wet and heavy, and the leaves haven't even turned yet. And it wasn't just us. One of my neighbors came home as I was cleaning, and noted that just about every tree she saw in Glendale (basically just east and south of downtown Denver) had at least one branch broken off.
Meanwhile it was 78 here in Rochester, NY when I went to lunch today.
And we'll be back to the 60s and 70s for at least the next week here.
Mid October, and it's forecast to be in the mid 70s ALL WEEK LONG. With a slight dip into the 60s for next weekend.
80's all across the greater LA area. In the middle of fricking october? there were people swimming today.
Just checked the five-day forecast for the week: today, 78F high. Wednesday night, 38F low.
Gotta love NJ weather.
Hovering around 70 the entire week here.
Tomorrow's forecast high in Ottawa is 8. We're finally getting to seasonal temperatures - for one day. Then it gets warm again.
*snerk* This surprises you HOW, Rob? :p
53 degF here in Rochester NY as I was driving back from my dental appointment.
Today's forecast for Ottawa is 8C. Tonight it's supposed to drop to freezing - and stay there tomorrow.
We're all watching Sunday's forecast (currently -3C and 40% chance of snow). Sunday's the Grey Cup, and it's being played outdoors in Ottawa. (When was the last time the Superbowl was played outdoors?)
Somewhere around the 1980's I think... Last time they were at the Rose Bowl.
*does research*
3 years ago. Feb 2, 2014 at the Meadowlands.
*does more digging*
And this season will be in Minneapolis, It is, however, a covered stadia.
... *snerk* I just looked at the little weather blurb on my pad lock screen and it said "91 f. High, 83 f"
WTF Accuweather?
We had the Shnow there yesterday.,
Well, parts of the country did. The rest had the rain. Tonight everywhere gets the freeze and tomorrow everyone gets to work at least an hour late.
Everyone's on summer tyres, and most of those are chinese bakelite hoops so the predictable has been happening even on the cleared roads. Figured everyone would take the coast road from the Hook to Dublin and either get stuck in an accident, or behind some aul coffin dodger afraid to go above and that nobody in their right mind would cut west over the Mullinavat road from New Ross and join the motorway which would definitely be clear.
I was fucking right!
Slush on refrozen ice. And summer tyres. And rear-wheel drive. Still got home only five minutes slower than the usual 2-hours. Gmaps says the other route would've taken three with two accidents along the way.
We had our first snowfall on Saturday; got about 3 inches (8 or 9 cm). About 80 percent of it melted away yesterday.
