I hope you are enjoying the pleasant temperatures this week, with predicted highs around 80 degrees or so, plus or minus.
Remember last year at this time? We were in a record-breaking heat wave, with highs of 103, 106 and 108 on July 27, 28 and 29. The 106-degree reading was of course Vancouver’s all-time high temperature — a record that lasted one whole day.
We also had 10 days in a row of 90 degrees or better, ending on August 4th with a cool 85 degrees. One noteworthy item is that the overnight lows, while the days were over 100 degrees, were around 70 degrees. Goodness, we had to struggle to make that for our highs not so long ago. We have had five days so far this month with highs below 70 degrees.
So, not much new in the forecast with fairly “normal” weather and seasonable highs, depending on any cloudiness that may filter inland. We just managed to bump 90 degrees on Sunday for our fourth day at that heat. Normally we get about 10 days with highs of 90 degrees or better during the summer.
