LOVE MY YARD


I love my shady yard in the afternoon. Terri can play there without getting overheated while I relax on the deck. Mosquitoes aren't quite so bad there as in the grass. On the hottest days we stay indoors, though.

Today it's 33°C and humidity makes it feel like 40°C. That's too hot to move! No wonder I tend to stay up after midnight to get anything done during weeks like this.

From Environment Canada:
Ontario heat breaks records ... Humidex ratings for southern Ontario are expected to reach as high as 42°C for Windsor and 43°C for Ottawa. That's 108°F !

At 3 PM radar shows a line of scattered severe and non severe thunderstorms from just south of lake Simcoe to vicinity of Bancroft and northeastward. This line is moving southeastward at about 60 km/h. Conditions around and ahead of this line of thunderstorms are favourable for the thunderstorms to persist and become severe with hail up to golf ball size, wind gusts to 100 km/h and torrential downpours up to 50 mm in half an hour.
