BuffJim Posted June 24, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 24, 2021 Fixing to be pretty hot this weekend in Seattle Portland, BC,Alberta. Warning for @Dottles @Scrapr @Dirtyhip @shootingstar @Zephyr @sheep_herderProbably forgetting someone. BC might hit 37 degrees. They are rarely above freezing, even in summer. Normal highs 20-28 degrees in summer. Be careful out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is incorrect. You may be confused, because the numbers you quote are in Celsius, not Fahrenheit. There are palm trees on our city, I have a lemon tree in my backyard. It will be warmer than normal, but we get a week of 30s (90sF) every summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at 2,200 feet elevation in the Northern Great Plains. We are at higher elevation by well over 1,000 ft. more than Vancouver...though it doesn't seem initially on the prairies. There is a difference when cycling often in our city and then going to Vancovuer, wondering why cycling a hill was ok when I wasn't cycling super long distances or not cycling every single day in prairie city. Athletes sometimes come to our area to train...lung power development...even the scenery in city isn't as pretty as Vancouver unless they live and train in Rockies, which some do if serious for international competitions. 1 hour ago, Zephyr said: This is incorrect.

It is a much drier heat in prairies where I panic abit if I forget my water bottle. The heat next wk. we'll get is more Drumheller (badlands) or Medicine Hat summer heat. Calgary summers are often fine (now if there was more tree cover in areas...) Vancouver area has some more humidity. But not as horrible sticky humid hot, as southern Ontario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted June 24, 2021 Share #12 Posted June 24, 2021 For the city where I live, it's on the other side of the Rockies...it is the prairies. Geographically, psychologically and historically, Alberta is in the prairies...even though we have 2 major beautiful mountain national parks. We have alot of rangeland, grassland and the skies are often brilliant blue, endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share #14 Posted June 24, 2021 @Scrapr is in the thick of it in Oregon. Posted some of the others due to the sprawling nature of the heat wave. To us 3 days consecutively above 90F, or 32C is a heatwave. We’ve never hit triple digits in recorded history- around 150 years- in Buffalo.

12string Posted June 25, 2021 Share #23 Posted June 25, 2021 I was just thinking about this, as it sure looks like the west, especially southwest, has entered an unstoppable spiral. Everything - drought, fires, heat - all make each other worse. Until it becomes a desert. It's appearing inevitable that the entire southeast will become another Sahara. So then where do we get our food? Right now, 40% of our corn crop is used to make ethanol. So, we take almost as much energy as we make to create an excuse to continue burning fossil fuel and turning farms o deserts. Get moving on renewable energy, drop the corn for ethanol, use that land to replace the crops lost in California. A win-win. And maybe we'll also figure out that all the energy it takes to make a desert liveable also contributes to making more deserts. Time for mass migrations.

We walked the dogs at about 10 pm & it was glorius. It was like Tim Robbins in Shawshank. Only going to be 91 here today.
