I wouldn't let a Taff in my shed. It's new.

I got a phone charger for her and a glass of water. When she had enough charge I got her to send a photo if my DL to her Mum and then let her use my WC. We offered he breakfast and a lift to the station but she managed to get hold of her mates and they came back for her.

Vote Tory.

It’s already pretty hot here - getting on for 25C - and it’s not even 7 yet this morning. The AC has been full throttle all night, and we’re heading into a three day spell with “excessive heat warnings” of 35+ daytime temps and not getting below 23 at night, along with a fair amount of humidity. It’s nothing like what Voice is getting, but it’s going to be uncomfortable.

Canoes. Haven't been for years, but the first thing they taught us was how to rollover. Don't they do that anymore?

Big storms last night. Trees down. Floods. Below average temperatures. After being too hot.

That's kayaks that you can roll upright in (I know we always called em canoes back in the days) canoes are open boats, you go over it fills with water so you either bail it out or do a canie over canoe rescue then climb back in.

Ah, I see. These things wrapped around your waist.

A spray deck.

[voice]

It's going to get to 42 to 44c today here, might just go to the supermarket and sit by the fridges all day

[flatandy]

Do you have AC? A swimming pool? Is there any benefit in going a couple of thousand meters up into the mountains?

[flatandy]

35C here again, and humid. Not quite as rough as you have it but not exactly pleasant.

[mids]

Pretty good weather here. A high of 18 C.

[voice]

Yes we have a couple of AC units that just take the edge off, but just the edge.

Hard to say about getting altitude, probably not plus there is massive snow melt in the mountains causing all manner of flooding and slippage problems. The Chief, that huge granite slab you may remember when you drove through to Whistler, lost a huge chunk off the grand wall yesterday, tons of rock came off. The rivers are nice and cold, but swamped with people as they've closed the schools due to the extreme heat, and as the water is all snow melt its too cold to just sit in.

2 days of this focast till it drops back to 30 by the end of the week.

Good job global warming is a hoax, f**k knows how that would effect these extreme weather events if it wasn't just China and George Sonos conning us all...

Hottest temp ever recorded in Canada at 46.1 was in Lytton BC yesterday, it beat the record set on Saturday and is expected to be beaten today.

[flatandy]

That is actually genuinely hot. Not "Yeah, it feels hot for people who aren't used to it" which is what the usual whining is, or "Not actually hot, but all the humidity makes it a bit intolerable" like it is here. Actually hot. I've only been out in temperatures like that a few times and it's pretty brutal.

[voice]

The humidity is at 40% and temp is now 42c here.

I'm sure this heat will be killing off some elderly frail people.

[mids]

What a bunch of heat-sensitive poofs.

[voice]

I was in Scotland once when the sun came out for the briefest of moments between howling wind and rain. The natives there were bright lobster red in seconds, it was sight to see.

[mids]

UV bad. Rain good.

[flatandy]

I always doubted Voice, but now he claims to have seen the sun in Scotland we know he's a liar.

[voice]

Today's new record, again in Lytton BC 47.5c, to give some perspective it was 49c in Death Valley, often the hottest place on the planet.

Farms accross BC and other Pacific Northwest places have lost entire crops before they even got going, bad few days for a lot of farmers, food prices were already higher, expect they'll go even higher now.

Cool and pissing down here. Wettest June since the beginning of time. But we got our hay in!
