The wind has been insane today. On par with a Nov wind storm. I got branches falling off the trees behind me and a mess of stuff blowing around. Power has nearly gone off several times. EC probably should have issued a wind warning.

It's a toasty 9.3 with a DP of 3. 67% Hum which is nice because everything is drying of outside with the wind and low Hum.

The one I'm think of was early morning, but it could have been associated with the same system.

Heaviest downpour in a long time just moved through. All of a sudden it got super dark. Then a few mins later started to rain insanely hard. The puddles became huge after just a minute. Lasted about 5 mins. Had one flash of lightning and thunder too.

mid-March 22c in the valley? Easily achievable. I remember once long ago in Maple Ridge the temps peaked at almost 30c in March :shock: :shock:

20°C mid-March is not unprecedented at all. Though, the record of the 2nd third of March may fall in YVR.
