Man it's hot these days. Was going to joke that ever since the Abbotsford farm team was officially known as the Heat it's been sweltering hot around here.
This really started in that first week of June, and since then there's only been a couple days of cool, spotty rain. Otherwise it's been sunny and 25 - 30C. More recently though it's more like 30 to 35C right here in Vancouver (right by the water even).
Just wondering how other BC cpers are handling this scorching heat. I never thought I'd feel this way, but I'm really starting to not enjoy this weather. It's nice to get these +30C days every now and again as a treat, but for weeks on end... yikes!

Lytton also reached a broiling 40.1 C — beating out a 70-year-old record set in 1939 by one-tenth of a degree — while Chetwynd recorded a high of 30 C, surpassing the 28.5 C set in 1996.
B.C.’s hottest spot was Lillooet, which sweltered under a high of 40.2 C.
Scorching temperatures will climb to nearly 34 C for the next two days while the heat in the Fraser Valley will rise to 38 C, although it’s going to feel much hotter, said Louis Kohanyi of Environment Canada.
“It’s going to be quite humid, so it’s going to feel like 40 C or more on Tuesday and Wednesday,” he said.
This week will smash a 2004 record for the longest consecutive days of temperatures above 30 C.
