Weather WTF

I'm surprised no one mentioned the flooding in Calgary.

Kinda answered it yourself there.

I was out of town over the weekend.  I'm surprised no one mentioned the flooding in Calgary.  Downtown was submerged, the Saddledome was flooded up to row 10, lots of low-lying areas along the river were flooded.

I never would have thought of Calgary was being susceptible to flooding - it has such a dinky river running through it, and is so hilly.  But I guess it can happen.

Not sure how they're going to manage the Stampede which starts in a week.  The Stampede grounds were also under water, and they should be setting up by now...

Of course, people did post about the flooding so...

They just flipped the tornado siren.

Shouldn't you be running for some kind of protected place or are you already there - with internet access?

Gonna hit 39C today. too hot.

All weekend was too hot. 

i was up by Newmarket on Saturday, wasn't too bad. Luckily didn't rain up there. Yesterday I locked myself in to finish some school work so AC kept me happy. Today though it was oppressively humid.

Poor Tonitrus.  Going to find his body this week; choked to death on a chunk of DOOMIDITY

Tuesday's temperatures reached a record high for 2013 in Baltimore, and it could get hotter still with the heat index expected to near 100 degrees Wednesday and surpass it Thursday.

Man, that's bad.

It was pretty miserable today.

My 21 000 btu of ACs are running at full speed.

I'm thinking humidity may be getting a bad rap. Sure, it sucks being covered in sweat, but constant dehydration's no walk in the park either.

[Caliga]

I wonder what 0% humidity would feel like, or if it's even possible for it to get that low.  OTOH 100% humidity is basically fog, right?

I dunno;  hot is hot, but I'd rather deal with Phoenix at 100 degrees and no humidity than Doomidity here at 85 degrees and 60% humidity.

[PDH]

At 7200 feet we don't get much humidity plus the air is thinner and it always holds less water.  Every night in summer, even if it is 90 during the mid day it cools down into the 50s.

The price?  You have to drink more fluids.

i don't think there are any recorded cases of fatally dry skin.

It can hurt like a SOB when your hands and lips get all dry and cracked though.
