Heat Of The Moment
July 18, 2011We are now into week five of oppressive, brutal heat here in icy cold Canada. With temperatures in the Celcius-packed 30s every day, no rain and the kind of humidity that makes you feel like you’re wearing a wet sweater, this is hard to take. Health warnings have been issued. People are getting sick.
So if you’re one of those people who still thinks Canada is a frozen wasteland, kiss my sunscreen, baby.
The biggest problem comes when the conditions build and build and build until thunderheads collide and storms roar forth, which happened last night in Ottawa when high winds pulled water from the river and destroyed a festival stage as Cheap Trick was playing.
Mother Nature prefers Aerosmith.
It’s true. The weather in Canada is absurd.
Don’t forget, what you’re getting today in urban Ontario is what I got yesterday in Minnesota, the heat/humidity has been “absurd” here as well. For what it’s worth, I much prefer Cheap Trick to Aerosmith anyday.
It’s so eerie, just two days ago, a short but fierce storm hit Belgium and killed 5 people, injured about 140, at a festival :s.
Complaining about 80 degrees F? That is funny. It isn’t summer in Cincinnati until it is in the 90′s with over 100% Humidity.
