4 days ago, the heat that was rampaging across western Canada, for the past couple of weeks slammed into the great Lakes region, even "above and beyond" Lake Superior. We have ground/forest fires in the vicinity of Lake Superior. I am fairly certain that the temps we are hitting in Canada this early in the summer is something very new, for eastern Canada and a even a lot more extreme for the west!! We can handle the Humidity, our main summer complaint/motto is .. "It's not the heat its the humidity" I lived in the extreme north of the Sonoran Desert near the Can/US border 2002-2007 when I left to move east, from there, into the mountains the temps. were in the 30 - 40 C /90-105 F. In 2003, the area I had lived in, called the Okanagan Valley, had some huge ground fires. 20 years later only and it has risen ?. I'll wait to see what the temp's hit in a few weeks as we head towards and into Aug.! the usual BC "Fire Season"/Heat Wave window. I never lived further than a few blocks from the Okanagan Lake after 2004. Since moving from there I have visited the area in 2010 and again in 2017 so I could, hang with all my friends there and find out how bad it was getting then. Only 4 years later '50' C/'125-130' F !!!! I'm going to continue Northward bound next year for sure. Glad I have some desert survival skills from working in the Wine Industry in the desert. Canada has it's own Las Vegas type dilemma with the Okanagan, due to the water use!! And which their neighbours to the south may have an issue with.... But that's a whole other 'Saga in the works for a few decades now' !!! :D
