Out on Lake Okanagan.
We have 38°C (100F) right now and are expecting 40°C (104F) over the weekend. Lake breezes are wonderful!
Happy Thursday.

That lake is a beauty. Lakes and ponds are great places to hang out at.
It is. They certainly are, especially when that cool evening breeze springs up!
Find your cool anywhere you can these days Lynette. The heat bubble is spreading our way, fortunately not to 40, but perhaps 32. Stay cool. Allan
Thanks Allan. Evenings either on or next to the lake are helping a lot and we have ac that we are using at night, so we are able to sleep well. You stay cool too. 😎
Too hot, too hot – fortunately not that hot here! In the water is probably more cooling than on the water…
At least it’s a dry heat. Going outside is a bit like entering a walk-in oven but the cool evening breeze from the lake is gorgeous and we also have ac.
One hundred! In the great white north?! Wow. We’re getting hot like that next week. Ugh. Of all the seasons, I’ve decided that I like summer the least (as you know from my Florida days). I’m looking forward to fall. Stay cool.
That’s normal for July in the Okanagan as it’s actually classified as semi-arid desert and is in a deep valley. Lots of southern parts of Canada have hot summers, including humidity (I really don’t like humidity!), but here it’s dry, which I much prefer. One year I took some flight training in Miami in late June. That was brutal! So hot and humid as well, so I totally understand why you prefer the northern US. I’ve just noted that in the space of six months, I’ve experienced -40 (-40F) at my work in the subarctic and +40 at my home! I’m looking forward to next year when I retire and likely won’t be experiencing those extremes again!
Yikes. Very extreme temps from one direction to the other. I’m excited for you and your retirement. 👏
Thank you very much, Lori. I will be very happily giving up the parka!
Out on the lake is the place to be on these hot days.
It’s certainly nice!
I couldn’t think of a better place to beat the heat than on or by the water. Looks lovely. Hope you’re staying cool.
Thanks, Linda. The evening breeze off the lake is heavenly. We have ac and are sleeping well, but there are a lot of marginalised people here who are suffering pretty badly. The city has opened a couple of cooling centres and service clubs are trying to ensure that those without access to air are getting some relief. We’re expecting 39 or 40 tomorrow. 🥵
