Believe me Halifax has hit 30 degrees several times this summer and has been far hotter than that. The weather channel can say what it wants but I know what my car (and everybody's car has said) and I know what the weather channel station actually said as I watched it right on that screen. I'm not embellishing, many many many times there was a current temp above 30 degrees right there in the bottom left hand corner of the screen (from early June to mid July). The humidex on many days was ridiculous.
Since moving to the east coast I have never felt as hot in the summer as I did out west. Conversely I have also never felt as cold in the winter as I do here. The thermometer in the winter may look fine but with the drizzle and humidity it chills you to the bone.
