Hot As He!!

[DanoT]

Yesterday on my balcony near the water in Victoria it was 39*C; today 29*C.

Yesterday in my apartment it was 33*C; today 30*C (86*F). Still way hotter than normal but mid 80sF is decent.

From 2 years ago...

Skiing Alpine Meadows with @Andy Mink and @Tricia

And 10 years ago on this date it snowed in Truckee.

and we cooled the bedroom with a portable AC that I had from a previous office, so we’ve been able to sleep comfortably.

yes, we bought one of those a few years ago in Big Bear. We don’t need it often but, when we do, it’s worth it’s weight in gold. Sadly, we most need it during fire season when we have to keep windows closed.

It was mid 90s on LI today and quite humid. I spent the day working outside much of it in the sun I was soaked in sweat by the time I got my truck loaded this morning. Having a big fan in the shade blowing on me helped but I still had to retreat inside to the AC a few times to avoid heat exhaustion.

I’ve got soccer camp all week….8-12. Never had a week of camp been so hot the past two days..….. I can attest it is “hot as heck”. The kids are all secretly wishing they were back inside on their IPads….lol.

I think they're off a bit here on this road sign in western Oregon ! !
But it did get to 115F in Portland and 117F in Salem.

They’re driving around enjoying their car’s AC, of course.

Lytton BC set another record yesterday, 49.5C

 

[Jim Kenney]

I had to convert 49.5C to 121F!! That's giving Death Valley a run for its money.

They are boiling human lobsters in Lake Alouette.

If you want to be freaked out, read the book "Six Degrees" by Mark Lynas. This was all predicted 30-40 years ago by climate scientists.

As a follow-on, I am now reading "The Sixth Extinction" by Elizabeth Kolbert. I might need my head examined, as I seem to only add to my anxiety. I'm a planner, though. I have always said I'll go north. But now I'm questioning that. Go where the water is...

How long until the resources of the Great Lakes get hi-jacked?

Yes, when I was in college in the 80’s they were taking about this , that a 2 degree temperature rise would be devastating. Of course, as humans we tend to think how bad could that be? The difference between say 83 and 85 degrees? I could live with that we think not realizing that the systemic effects of a 2 degree average temperature increase are monumental. This is a human failing of imagination but that’s why we have science. ( time to start using it)
@ AmyPJ, I’d hold off on finishing the SixthExtinction for a bit until it cools down a bit. Too much at once but I get where you’re coming from.

No, no, no... lobster rolls. LOBSTER ROLLS. NO KingGrump rolls. I don't look good in a roll.

No, no, no... lobster rolls. LOBSTER ROLLS. NO KingGrump rolls. I don't look good in a roll.

Lobster Rolls are at the top of my food pyramid. In a month I’ll be in Maine getting my yearly dose with a Bar Harbor Real Ale supplement. Heaven.

Hey, now! Nestle is already doing that with their bottling plants. Don't give anyone else any ideas.
