Strange. It's significantly cooler today (high: 26ËšC) in Bellingham compared to yesterday (high: 32ËšC).
It's called clown range for a reason.

Yeah temps at YVR often peak a day later than most locations during a heatwave. Looks like it topped out at 29.3c there today which is about a degree warmer than yesterday

Something weird happened that I want an explanation for.

On Sunday night near SFU, it was really hot and stuffy. Monday morning was also warm and humid with widespread altocumulus castellanus. I work in a warehouse in Delta between 8am-6pm so on my work days, I don't get to follow the weather as closely as I want. But when I left work yesterday, the clouds were gone and the humidity had dropped substantially. How did this change in weather occur?

00z GFS shows a widespread 20-40mm of rain Thursday/Friday for the lower mainland and the sunshine coast. Western sections of the island look to get slammed with possibly 100mm over the two days.

Looks like we will double our monthly average for August after Friday. YVR already has recorded 32mm for the month
