SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.vancouverisawesome.com/amp/vancouver-news/special-weather-statement-issued-for-metro-vancouver-due-to-heat-wave-3891056 "After a relatively cool start to the weekend, temperatures will be on the rise again today. The current guidance indicates that the day time temperatures will peak in the low-thirties through Monday at locations away from the immediate coast," states Environment Canada. Right now they're predicting a high of 24 C across Vancouver, but that will vary from location to location. Further inland, places like Abbotsford are expected to hit 33 C. While it's expected to bring the heat, it won't last long. "The ridge associated with this warm spell will start shifting inland on Tuesday, ushering the hot air into the Interior," states the federal agency. Forget “hot girl summer” or “hot boy summer.” With a heat wave starting on Father’s Day, 2021 is clearly going to be the year of “hot Dad summer.” Edited June 20, 2021 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Heat warning for Metro Vancouver: Quote Heat Warning in effect for: Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge Metro Vancouver - southeast including Surrey and Langley A dangerous long duration heat wave will affect B.C. beginning on Friday and lasting until Tuesday. Threat: Daytime highs ranging from 34 to 38 degrees celsius combined with overnight lows of 18 to 20 degrees celsius. Humidex values during this period will reach the high 30's to possibly the low 40's. Locations: Metro Vancouver NE, Metro Vancouver SE, Fraser Valley. Timespan: Friday to Tuesday. Remarks: An exceptionally strong ridge of high pressure will develop over British Columbia likely resulting in record breaking temperatures. The duration of this heat wave is concerning as there is little relief at night with elevated overnight temperatures. This record-breaking heat event will increase the potential for heat-related illnesses. Drink plenty of water even before you feel thirsty and stay in a cool place. Check on older family, friends and neighbours. Make sure they are cool and drinking water Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle. Watch for the symptoms of heat illness: dizziness/fainting; nausea/vomiting; rapid breathing and heartbeat; extreme thirst; decreased urination with unusually dark urine. Outdoor workers should take regularly scheduled breaks in a cool place. To get more information: - Check the local news for health and safety updates. - Check HealthLinkBC online resources about heat-related illness and how to protect yourself at www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthlinkbc-files/heat-related-illness. - Call HealthLinkBC at 8-1-1 to ask about heat-related illness.

bishopshodan Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Heard on the radio that it could be quite hot for the next 3 months. Higher temperatures than normal. I think that is ...not cool. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Vegas last week where temps were around 50? We live in the best spot. We win. Vegas can’t win at anything!

Boudrias Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I remember 103 F in Grade 6. 1962. Exciting because there was talk of canceling school. No A/C back in those days. Well that didn’t happen. We finished the school year and weren’t any worse for it. Don’t know what 103 F is in French. Probably around 39 C? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some real hot days back then too. We would fry eggs on the road for fun. Winters were colder too. Fraser would freeze over, and the cows would wander out on the ice.

But then again my memory ain’t what it used to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 When I lived in Princeton in the 60's and early 70's it would often hit 100+. We had to work in the bush starting at 3am. On the flip side, it hit 52 below and for an entire month never went above 0 degrees F. I hope you all check on folks that are alone, older, just to make sure. This heat is not healthy.

The hottest temp ever recorded in Canada is 45, which is crazy hot. 49 is insane. That’s like 120 F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
