Any storms last night? I didn't hear a thing and it bugs me when I miss them. Good to see next week is looking pretty hot.

I went to bed at 4am, up at 9am & saw or heard nothing (downtown).
Next week's forecast is a beautiful thing! Let's hope the forecasters finally get it right!

Not on Saturday night. There was one on Friday night in Mississauga, but it wasn't anything significant.

There was a lot of raining and some thundering on friday night (early saturday morning? past 12am). It was raining all night and into the day on Saturday.

prediction of weather is notoriously difficult. anyways, this week has been great thus far.

Yes, this week has been amazing. Since Sunday it's been warming up each day. Thursday should be a bit more different though. Still hot, but storms are predicted.

When it's still 24 degrees outside at midnight, I wouldn't call that amazing ... I'd call that too hot. Fortunately it hasn't been too humid ... and looks like it will break this afternoon.

I love it We have way too long of a winter for me to complain about it being hot. Not to mention it's taken a long time for it to get this warm. By now we should have had a few 30 degree days.

I expect some pretty severe thunderstorms in Southern Ontario today. Already severe thunderstorm watches issued for a few counties closer to Lake Huron.

Edit: And here we go. Already a watch issued.

I just don't like sweating while I sleep ...

Well get air conditioning!

 

[nfitz]

Well get air conditioning!

What, for 3 or 4 days in the summer?

And to one of "those people" who turn on the air-conditioning every time the sun comes out? I'd rather sit here and listed to the trees blowing in the wind, the traffic in the distance, the streetcar ...

Well that was fairly uneventful haha. It only rained a little bit here in Mississauga and then it was over.

 

[nfitz]

It looked pretty intense in a few places on the radar. We certainly got a lot of water here, though not for long.

Looks like a lot of rain this week; I just took advantage of it and put some more grass seed down in the bare spots. Now I won't have to water it all week!
