I guess not It is Celsius but a lot of us older farts (I’m 72) grew up with Fahrenheit. I understand Celsius but I relate better to Fahrenheit, especially with the warmer temps. My daughter and grandsons look at me like I’m crazy when I say the temp in Fahrenheit. However, -40 is the same in both and very cold. I’ll take the heat any day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldSmith Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Somewhere I heard the poem about Celsius, and I recited it for some Canadian cousins, who are about the same advanced age as I: "30 is hot and 20 is nice; 10 is cool and zero is ice." They looked at me like I was from outer space. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hiebert Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 A blistering 86 up here in northern Maine today. I've found that driving the ole D24 in "hot" weather tends to be more comfortable than one may think, all the way from 110s in west Texas (the passenger windshield is cracked from when El Paso had a week straight of over 110 in 1994) and SE New Mexico, to muggy 80s and 90s in MI, NY and ME. I always expect it to be miserable, but am generally surprised that it is quite tolerable. Perhaps because it doesn't have as much glass as modern cars?...or the metal is thicker? Who knows. Even my Beetle is cooler than you would think. But try to get in our 2014 Patriot or 2019 Ram on a hot day?...fuggedaboudit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithb7 Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) The entire drive home from work this afternoon the car thermometer never budged off 118 F. We’ve migrated to the basement to sleep. The AC quit on my work commuter car. Too hot to troubleshoot it. The forest fires have now started. One is burning completely out of control 10 miles from my city. Smoke is now settling in the valley here. The last several years summer have been feeling like the apocalypse. Forest fire Smoke. Relentless each summer it seems. Its extremely hot and dry here now. Thunderstorms are possible tomorrow.

westaus29 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hard to believe you are experiencing such hazardous conditions, sounds way worse than what we get in southwest WA tho we have had bad bushfires the last couple of years. Hope things come good for you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysler1941 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Right now we have 60 F We don't have bush fires, no earthquakes, no heat wave, no fires, no hurricanes, no dry weather. All in all just boring. We don't have any natural disasters other than our politicians. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lytton, a small town in central British Columbia, just set an all-time Canadian hot temperature record a couple of days ago. It hit 49.6C or 121F. That’s getting toasty!

keithb7 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Lytton. A 1.5 hr drive from here. I’d say there ia a bit of spill over. Lol. They put their weather station in the hottest possible place. It gets the sleepy little town in the media all the time Inside my home tonight. Well past the so called comfort zone. 40 cel (104F) in the living room. Actually everywhere in the house. Good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrambler Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I wish you the BEST in your fires. Hot Shots and 559 firefighters have things ALMOST under control here in Sedona. 80K acres lost but no loss of life, and only a VERY few homes. These folks are my heroes!

keithb7 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Well that escalated fast. Lytton is no more, burned out. This photo is my town this morning. Lightly snowing ash too. Same situation in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and several other summers I can recall. Seems to stick around most of the summer. We have a problem. The prairies are starting to look favorable.

Tooljunkie Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Well, it was a hot one here in Manitoba today. I did brave the heat and took my Fargo out for a putt. No headliner, and when parked the roof gets incredibly hot. I have just finished the 360/727 repower and was concerned about the heat. It is well within acceptable parameters. i saw in the news about Litton. Buildings can be replaced, im more concerned about the people that are un accounted for.
