Winnipeg:
Becoming a mix of sun and cloud this afternoon with 60 percent chance of thunderstorms late this afternoon. Risk of a severe thunderstorm late this afternoon. Wind south 30 km/h gusting to 50. High 29. Humidex 36.

Storms already appearing on the radar.  They're heading directly east.  Thankfully, the storms in North Dakota will stay there.

27 here but feels like 34. It's hot. We had a pretty good thunderstorm blow through last night.

For some reason the Weather Channel is saying it's raining here, but it's clear as a bell in the entire region.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Hail that fell near Melita, Manitoba this afternoon, in the southwest corner of the province.  Twonie for comparison.

Not sure exactly what the temperature was, but it was HOT in Mississauga today. I've been on vacation this week, and today I was up on the ladder painting second story exterior windows....in the sun....thought I was going to shrivel up and die right there on the ladder. This was in my backyard and I had taken the thermometer off one of the windows and placed it on the glass patio table, also in the sun. When I checked it later it was registering 50C!

Buddy think of your health.  Working outdoors above 30C is not a good idea.  We hit 38C with humidity!

Besides, paint probably does go on that easy with the stickyness

I would be worried about the paint sticking , could dry to fast
There is  usually temperature range that you should use paint in, that could be to high

I'd love that weather.  It's been hot here the last little while as well and I get a kick out of the folks complaining about the heat.  Same knuckleheads that b!tch about the cold and snow in the winner too.

If I had a pool, that would be no problem. You will never hear me complain about hot weather because I hate, H-A-T-E, the cold.

35° max today.....too hot factoring in the dewpoint/humidity. I can only imagine what it’s like in the valley......upper 30s there.
