What's the weather like where you live?

[Esteban]

Nice sunny day on tap. 61°F and sunny right now, with a high forecasted at 81°F.

[UncleWede]

Saturday we had sun with the dawn. Mostly shorts and a hat all day, mid-70

This morning when I went out to continue garden work shortly after 8, had to come back in and get a shirt because water was falling out of the sky. Around 1:30 (while I was napping) the sun broke thru. Spent an hour in Palacio Del Sol reading, then finished destroying snails. High today also low 70

[Llarry]

More perfect weather -- 70s -- but forecast for Tuesday is for 95F! Hot! (Tuesday is the day that the Great Pyrenees dog gets her grooming, which should help her comfort factor.)

[M5Rick]

Cloudy start, then the sun has shone through and about 19C throughout the day.

[Lady Jane]

Great for forest fires and I wouldn't be surprised if we have an influx of skeeters the size of hummingbirds this summer.

[GarySL]

Was decent lagoon swim/beach weather until the thunderheads started to roll in

[Esteban]

June gloom in full bloom. 62°F right now with a high predicted at 70°. Going to be cloudy all day.

[freakystyly]

Stepped out of the office for a site visit and it smells like a bonfire everywhere and super hazy. I can't remember a time when it was worse than this. Beautiful day otherwise. Looks like the wind is pushing down from Quebec according to the map.

Would someone politely ask the Canadians to turn off the Nova Scotia wildfires already? It's time to stop your protests, and accept that Lord Stanley's Cup will be south of the border for another season.

Seriously though, we had lines of thunderstorms come through here at 7:30 AM and 1:30 PM. The latter brought pea to marble sized hail along for extra emphasis.

We are also under an air quality advisory today for smoke from said Canadian fires. Visibility is less than 3/4 mile at times, and everything smells like smoke and looks like it is covered in tomato soup whenever the sun tries to shine through the smoke.

Shot through a perforated window shade this morning:



Outside this afternoon, where the orange sun looked like a dot above the tree on the right:

Thanks to forest fires in Ontario & Québec, the worse ever Air Quality Index ever recorded here, 10+.

More orange sun here this morning, with another air quality alert.

I woke up for my 2 AM hourly visit to the drivers lounge, and noticed that it was about 4F warmer inside that it should have been with the central AC running. (Sucks that we can't have our windows open when its 50F outside because Smoky the Bear can't prevent forest fires in Canada.) I fumbled through a filter change, but couldn't see well enough to tell if the old filter was clogged with smoke particles. The AC was working gloriously when I woke up this morning.

One of my colleagues here in the office said that NYC recorded the worst AQI in the world yesterday, and the talking heads on this morning's TV news were showing live video of the Statue of Liberty being barely visible in the smoke/haze. Today's smoke is allegedly from fires in Quebec, and smells like it has a French accent.....

I dunno how the people further north are dealing with it. Even here in NC you can see the smoke in the air, looks like it's foggy but it's not fog. I was feeling like crap the past couple of days doing stuff outside and now I guess I know why. I didn't know about these fires until like yesterday.

Pretty decent graphic... https:// firesmoke .ca/forecasts/current/

(just fix the link)

[chinniciF32]

Yea its pretty bad out there today, in Greenwich, CT they just issued a very bad air quality and everyone needs to stay indoors or wear a mask. It sucks because I love cruising with the windows down

[UncleWede]

I walked out of my door last night to go for a walk, and there were little drops of water falling out of the sky. W T F???

Much like Estaban, June gloom bloomed after that bit of water.

Give it a few more days and you will be able to joint in a Class Action Suit started by some looney

[vreihen16]

Probably wind up paying out only one loonie per class member after all of the lawyer and administration fees.....

In Ukraine, we are struggling with rain. But it was nice and warm weather before.

Do you live in a wooded area? Rain has got to be better than those horrible wildfires!

Please send some rain the 5,000 km over here!

If you've seen pictures of my house, you'll notice that I'm surrounded by miles of forest. Mosquitoes have chain saws.

Another day of choking from Quebec wildfire smoke here again today.....
