Temp 29.3˚C, DP 20.4˚C.

It felt noticeably cooler in the valley this afternoon due to the cloudcover. The temp was only about 1.2C lower, but the dew point was a touch lower, too. My high is 29.6C so far, but it might make a late run at 30C.

YXX dew point is all the way down to 15.2C at 5 pm, so there's some drier air filtering in.

Yep! But that's nothing compared to Eastern Canada (dew points up to 25°C today).

I can tolerate 37C with a dry heat. Anything above 28C with 65% + humidty feels disgusting.

I hate this weather. I hate summer. I just want to fast forward to October.

[Abby_wx]

Currently 24.4C with a dew point of just 9.9C. Feels very nice, but it looks like this afternoon will be hot with the clear skies. Hopefully not muggy, at least.

It is a nuisance Kells l recall going to The Okanagan and Kelowna in past years with no wildfire smoke whatsoever. Now it's an every summer occurrence making summer vaca in many spots in our province a no go especially if your immunal compromised.
