We had 2 days at 34C last week. Felt around 48-50C with the humidity, depending where you were. One day at 35, felt around the same. Nice and toasty.
Paul, you guys are feeling the heat, but you are way drier then we are ( i mean my city, the rest of the area is on fire...) But I did see trenton got 40mm of rain.... I hope you got the good end of that rain!

The heat is dying down. 28C today, but 4 days at 20C. Itll give a nice break, as much as I enjoy the heat.
We had a massive, fast moving storm here last night. 2 inches of rain in 5 minutes, 100kmph winds, fallen trees, localized flooding... all within 15 minutes. Better then TV!
Heres a quick video (not made by me_

Jim,
cool there indeed -- you are a chilly 90 F at 11 am. 8)
I'm working from home today so I can water the heck out of Canna and banana and colocassia before water restrictions go into effect -- our first ever in decades. 🙁

I saw that Toronto is supposed to be 38 C today (50 with humidex)!! I wish I was there 😆
My area has managed to hit 30 C one day so far this season!

So, I take it you see I am at 38 C BEFORE noon?
Posted : 21/07/2011 12:56 pm
Erik- The all-time record high for the city (disputed) is 38.3C. We're above 37C right now, I don't know if we'll make it! Note: I wish I was along the lake right now, my sticker says 33C which would be sweet relief from this!
The dispute here is that the old UofT weather station (downtown) recorded a temperature of 40.6C back in 1936, one year before the current weather station was established!

I hear ya there cameron!!!! We had 3 days of it, the hottest 2 maxed out at 48C with humidex..... nice and toasty!!!!!
Paul - Id love to be down there. I really love that kind of heat! Hope the plants are ok
We had a microburst last night. 80 feet of the roof was torn off liek a tuna can, destroying liek 20 cars in the process, localized flooding, 2 inches of rain in liek 5 minutes, cloud rotation ( the whole cell was visibly rotating in the sky...)...
The first vid is the airport, the second one is the storm. Thats what happens here when it gets this hot, then cools down even 5 or so degrees!

We topped out at 37.9C yesterday, for those still on the old British system that's 100.2f, with a low of 26C or 80f. These numbers are, of course, I the official weather data from the airport! Interestingly, the island airport (in the lake) also hit 36.5C, looks like being on the waterfront was not a big help yesterday!
So we missed the all-time record by 0.4C, so close! Can't wait for temps to drop back into the 30C range! Still 2 days at 35C (95f) before that happens though. This is pretty warm for us guys north of the border, all of our igloos are melting!
