Suspiciously Good Summer Weather: Calgary Edition
I’m hesitant to blog about this because I don’t want to jinx it, but we’ve had the best summer weather this year. Especially this July. It’s usually obnoxiously hot/smoky/both during this month, but we’ve had tons of rain, lots of cloudy days, and, overall, very cool weather.
Heck, Tuesday was Calgary’s coldest July 22nd since records began in 1884. And July 21st? Same thing.
That’s wild.
The rain can be obnoxious (notice I’m posting book reviews in July; that does not happen unless I’m stuck on the treadmill), but this is so much better than the heat.
I’m trying to take advantage of the cool morning running weather, too.
Dear Vancouver: 90 degrees? Really?
Edit: YES I KNOW I should be using Celsius, but screw that. I wanted that unambiguous “this weather blows” feeling from the title, not “what’s that in Fahrenheit again?”
I like the heat. I really do. But when I automatically get +50 humidity damage when I walk out the front door, things get bad pretty quickly. I’m glad I made up Friday’s not going to the rec center yesterday instead of today, ‘cause I’m pretty sure I would have died from some sort of heat-related incident there this afternoon (I don’t think they know what fans are in Canada).
I also had the dumb idea of making bread today (dumb because of the fact that my apartment was nearly 87 degrees BEFORE I preheated the oven to 400). I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks totally good. Yayzorz.
On a totally unrelated note, it’s Clock Day today! So go to newgrounds.com and check out all the good/bad/funny/serious stuff the clocks have made for today.
Yay!
