I saw the hammock at Costco and was tempted.

I was BBQing my burgers today and I could see my breath. In July. WTF.

I set up my Danby dual hose three weeks ago. Love it. As soon as it gets above 22 degrees, our condo gets pretty warm and stuffy. I run it for 20 minutes on low and the place is nice and cool.

Heat wave warning: Dangerously hot temperatures coming to B.C. this weekend

Crazy summer weather so far! Heavy rain this morning.

This thread should be changed to the dangerous heavy rain/flooding thread.

BC Housing disabled cooling devices at some sites over costs
https://bc.ctvnews.ca/bc-housing-dis...osts-1.5997284

They claim none of the residents at their facilities died in last year's heat dome.

My parents live right next to the ocean and get usually have that nice breeze flowing in, but last year was enough for them to get central air and ceiling fans. The AC is just going in next week. It took a year to get an appointment.

Insane heatwave here right now and looks like it'll last all week. Main AC in the living room can barely keep up... Ones in the smaller rooms cope better, so that's where I stay lol

Every year new records are being broken.. It feels like we're spinning out of control. 35 (feels like 42+ with humidity) for sustained periods in July was unheard of just a few years ago. In a few years it'll be 38 and so on.

And everyone is buying AC units where they never needed them before, or using their units more than they used to, so power usage goes up exponentially.

We are so fucked it's not even funny
