28C yesterday.  Nice and hot.  It was lovely by the ocean.

I don't know, what are the problems associated with insects ?

It's forecast to get up to 35C (95F) by the end of the month, which is hellish for a country that doesn't believe in domestic air conditioning. Must get some pet mesh for the windows so I can open the damn things more than a crack.

:huh: You have no mesh? What about insects?

Also you can buy a domestic air conditioning unit.

Generally not an issue here.

Aircon not the done thing.  :bowler:

Also probably often against tenancy/leasehold ownership limitations.

You have limitations on putting a 12cm tube out of your window?

Ugh that was rough that summer in Chicago where I had no a/c. I recall my building also didn't allow it. :(

Which is precisely what the farmers are doing in the fields around the house; though I think the owner of the meadow out front has left it a little late as we've rain arriving here late tomorrow.

Been dodging rain shows all afternoon whilst out; managed to get within 2-3 miles of home before the heavens opened. 

When thoroughly wet, I stopped to partially shelter under some low trees on the side of the road, it really tipped down.

Then I looked across the narrow road and there was a nice rainbow, but it wasn't in the sky, but actually in the road, a little taller than me and ending 10ft on the other side of the road.

That is a lot of rain, but the internet will only be impressed with triple-all-the-way-across-rainbows.

Yeah, we nowadays sometimes get these semi-monsoon like bursts of rain. :un- :bowler:

Make it happen! Make it happen!

I want to move to Sept-Ile for the same reasons.

Summer in Quebec lasts until October?  :huh:

By summer do you mean temperatures above freezing?

Heh, it was only in the 70s here this past weekend and I told someone "You know, if it was wintertime it'd be below zero." :cool:
