Meanwhile out on Sea Island, tha airport is only reporting 26c with NW winds. Such a bad location to have our official weather station

It's a complete joke. It needs to be changed immediately!

High of 36.0c thus far today here. Seems like the mesoscale model maps posted here yesterday overdid the heat slightly.

I've lived on the west coast for my whole life so I get that it's hot in the sun, what I don't get is why the air is hot, and hot in the shade even. I'm putting up a new fence and working in the shade and I'm still hot...looking forward to cooler weather.

on the plus side, it's great for watching the Perseid's I saw some great meteors last night and will go out again tonight...might as well, enjoy the warm evening.

That trough sunday into monday keeps getting watered down/delayed. It better deliver us at least a bit of relief from this heat. This is the peak of the summer sockeye/chinook runs in the Fraser and water temps are already too high. Im afraid most of the sockeye will die before they reach their spawning grounds in the central interior if water temps keep rising. The Big Bar landslide devastated the 2019 run and then last years run was the lowest in recorded history. If we lose most of this years run to warm water…that will be 3 out of the 4 runs reduced to mere fractions of what they used to be. Pretty devastating to see whats happening to what was once the greatest sockeye producing watershed in the world. I knew climate change was going to negatively affect our local salmon populations but I never dreamed that I would see it unfold like this in such a short amount of time

There's quite a bit of smoke being blown out over the ocean now. Even if the flow turns W or SW, we'd have some of it blow back this way. Of course it will be slightly more dispersed, but something to keep in mind.

Looks like the Churn creek, Flat Lake and Tremont creek fire plumes should begin filtering into the Fraser valley in the next few hours. Enjoy the air quality that you have now.
