That's shocking. I cant recall a heat wave suffering the same fate as most of our modelled arctic blasts. I'm assuming a good warm stretch is still in the cards.

Still supposed to be significantly warmer later this week, just not as insanely warm as once forecast.

Arg, Environment Canada is going from bad to worse. Both Penticton and Kamloops have a lot of missing data this month. In fact, I don't either station has been this bad in over 100 years. Keep in mind, these are by FAR the most reliable thermometers in the southern interior for tracking climate change and such. How on earth do two stations 200km apart glitch at the exact same time for two weeks straight? Like seriously, how does the precipitation go down at both stations on the 11th, then come online again for the 12th, and then off since then? Plus, temperature glitching equally matches! Is this like how a fire a few years ago in Ottawa destroyed records in BC because they were all stored in the same spot with no backups?

My Davis weather station hasn't missed a day since I installed in 2012 (except for when one of the kids unplugged it for a week, and I didn't notice until the backup batteries ran out), but EC can't keep a $100,000 weather station going?

EDIT: Wow, SAME THING for Cranbrook! What the F!!!

Basically, precipitation is no longer measured in the southern interior (several other stations were recently downgraded, including Princeton.

Prince George doesn't have snowfall data for this year. Didn't check previous years but I'm sure there is some snowfall data in some years.

Campbell River doesn't even record precipitation anymore.

Charlottetown always has a lot of missing days.

We've still been above average temperature wise. I've noticed that even in cool and cloudy conditions we almost always seem to come out above the long term average. Especially night time temperatures. But regardless, sorry your heat wave fell through. I'm usually quite confident we would see a few during summer, but the ENSO conditions have me thinking otherwise.

Looking forward to a stretch of warm, dry temps before Junuary looks to take control right on cue.

I think we'll see one in mid to late June. I'd even go as far to say that it could very well be the hottest period of the summer. Just a hunch.

Such a shame...

You should email them and ask what's the problem.
