No, Environment Canada and CBC, "Canadians" haven't necessarily given up on summer.

There are millions of Canadians in BC, for example, who have had very nice weather lately, thank you.

The country is too vast and diverse to make blanket statements.
"Canadians are fed up with the traffic on the Gardiner Expressway"
"Canadians want the new mall in Mississauga to be open later on Saturdays"

Idiots.

Isuldirs: Vancouver has had great weather this year. A little cool toady (22c) but still quite pleasant.

Holy Fark! It's raining toads? Isn't that one of the plagues of Egypt? Better get the lamb blood on the door.
I kid, I kid.

Yeah the weather has been shiat here (Waterloo, ON)

A few days of muggy heat, and then a bunch of rain, and cooler days. Windy and cloudy...

It feels more like a wet fall or late spring.

Of course now august will be some killer month where he have more record breaking days than ever..... you just wait and see.

Hey, it's a big country. Just because it sucks in central Canada doesn't mean that the weather isn't awesome elsewhere. This is probably the bestest summer I've seen in Vancouver in the 25 years since I moved here.

/Suck it, ROC.

I'm not complaining one little but. My grass is still green, I've run the A/C for a grand total of three days so far, my kids have been using our (heated) pool five days out of seven and I can cycle to work without having to spend 45 minutes cooling off.

If this summer "sucks" then I guess I like sucky weather.

/Brampton ON

Bored Horde: This summer does suck, it's early farking july and I'm using a down comforter to not freeze my balls off at night

same, still using my down comforter almost every night. admittedly i leave the window open, as it only gets cold at the apex of night, but still

/MASS

Shostie: Oh, boo farkin' hoo. "It's too cold this summer." "Shut the hell up," I say while enduring 100+ degree afternoons with 1000% humidity and little to no rain.

I'll trade

After going through the March that was June, I demand ball-melting heat

Yet another good reason to disband the TBC. Oops, I meant the CBC.

Perducci: There are millions of Canadians in BC, for example, who have had very nice weather lately, thank you.

I was about to say the same thing.

But yeah, it's not Toronto, so it doesn't count for anything.

Vancouver is having average weather

yea its only 103 here in okla. come on down Canadians!

Shouldn't Taranna want cool weather during a garbage strike?

mybabysmomma: Bored Horde: This summer does suck, it's early farking july and I'm using a down comforter to not freeze my balls off at night

Have you tried rubbing them together?

...or separately, even.

It's the hottest Summer of all time in Texas.

It's been a 100 damn degrees every day for the last three weeks and is projected to stay that way for the foreseeable future.

We will very soon be having prayer vigils to summon up a hurricane.

ah yes, 8 months of winter followed by 4 months of very poor sledding

Killer Cars: But yeah, it's not Toronto, so it doesn't count for anything.

Well, the truth hurts.

You guys do realize that you're in Canada, right? Where it's cold?

/Brampton ON

Reasons I hate this weather:
1) Women, particularly my wife, are not dressing to beat the heat.

2) My son wants to play in the sprinkler without freezing to death.

As have my fellow Phoenix residents, I'd like to invite you all to STFU and GBTW.

PHX 10-day forecast highs = 112,107,110,111,113,112,110,108,108,106

/August is going to be worse.
//At least my new solar system is driving A/C costs down.

Playerslight: It was 13°C last night at my place. Or 429°F or whatever for you yanks.

Yeah, we don't use the metric system, but hey, Myanmar has our back!

Global Warming FTW?

A balmy 12 C and windy here in Edmonton. I like it because my apartment isn't a thousand degrees.

That's it, I'm moving to Canada. Too many 38º C days already this summer in Austin.

Pants_Optional: Holy Fark! It's raining toads? Isn't that one of the plagues of Egypt? Better get the lamb blood on the door.
I kid, I kid.

I was going to say "WTF are you talking about?"...took me a bit to realize what I wrote! Good call!

/What are all these bugs doing here?

Pxtl: Reasons I hate this weather:

THIS. The fashion show is on hold.

SpinStopper: I know some of us in Houston would be willing to trade ;)

My work takes me to Houston a couple of times a year and I dread, dread going there in the summer. Lovely in the early spring and late fall, but summer? No thanks.

In other news, we've got a new Solar System!

/someone alert NASA!

I wish every summer was like this.

But Algore has promised Global Warming, so you have that going for you.

/What? It's a crock of shiat? Oh.

It's not the hottest summer in Texas yet.It was over 100 for 69 days in 1980.(44 consecutive)

Robert1966: You guys do realize that you're in Canada, right? Where it's cold?

Southern Ontario usually gets as hot as anywhere else in the summer. Particularly since most of the really bleeding hot parts of the USA are dry deserts instead of steamy Great Lakes territory.

Normally there's that payback for our long, crappy winter - tropical summer weather combined with the our super-long summer daylight hours.

I don't know what your talking about summers been awesome on Vancouver Island.

Did you go with the Gliese 581 c, or the Upsilon Andromedae?

Dear Canadians,

You are welcome here and would love to have you vacation on the Emerald Coast. Look up the beaches of South Walton County, Florida. The prettiest, nicest beaches on the globe. The sand is the whitest and brighest on Earth. This is where the snowbirds come during the winter. Great food, golf, shopping and fun in a great atmosphere. Come on down!

Russ1642: THIS. The fashion show is on hold.

Agreed. Although I must say my drive to and from work is much safer in cooler weather.

Here in Montreal, we've had torrential downpours for 2 weeks now. I think I can count the nice sunny days on one hand. This farking blows. I'm gonna ask for my money back unless winter starts in February.

Lower Canada (where almost all Canadians live) and the upper U.S. are experiencing a more-south than usual jet stream this year, bringing cool weather from magic land. But if you're too far south to benefit from the fronts the jet stream is creating, your summer is likely as hot as ever.

I'm in Philly, it's been mid-80s for 3 months straight. Lovin' it. By this time of year there's usually 2 days of 95+ with the occasional 100+ a couple times a month.

What? No two week surfing season in BC? Dammit. I was so there.

threedingers: SpinStopper: I know some of us in Houston would be willing to trade ;)

My work takes me to Houston a couple of times a year and I dread, dread going there in the summer. Lovely in the early spring and late fall, but summer? No thanks.

Yeah, Houston in the summer is like a moist, warm and sticky beach blanket overcrowded with fat people.

/very unpleasant.

ObscureNameHere: Did you go with the Gliese 581 c, or the Upsilon Andromedae?

It's comments like this that make me love Fark.

I can't imagine ever going to a dinner party in the real world and overhearing that level of cleverness.

Playerslight: Killer Cars: But yeah, it's not Toronto, so it doesn't count for anything.

Well, the truth hurts.

FWIW, I haven't had a "Toronto is the center of the universe" Torontonian proclaim to me Torono's excellence in everthing once I explain to this Toronto-loving chap that I am, in fact, American, and they're Toronto-ness has no effect on me. Toronto.

/Toronto

iollow: Lower Canada

Actually, technically Ontario is called "Upper Canada", since it's further up the St. Laurence river, even though it is further South.

VimFuego: I wish every summer was like this.

But Algore has promised Global Warming, so you have that going for you.

/What? It's a crock of shiat? Oh.

95% of scientists concur (vehemently, mind you) that global warming works all the time.

Normally I'd be okay with slightly cooler weather, but it seems like chicks need it to be at least plus 25 to break out the tank tops and sundresses and the like.

I've been outside every day emptying aerosols into the atmosphere, to do my part for global warming.

It was great in Winnipeg last year. This year isn't too bad just a little more rain than usual.

On the minus side, WINNIPEG.

/also 7mos pregnant with a broken A/C in my crappy car. Been told summer can suck real bad in this condition - fine so far.
//Hamilton, ON

Pxtl: 1) Women, particularly my wife, are not dressing to beat the heat.

Yeah, that part does kinda suck. But then again, I work in a mostly-male office and live in an "aesthetically challenged" town, so I'm not missing much.

Aha! That explains my lack of invites to dinner parties.

It's been hot and sunny here in Newfoundland!

Killer Cars: they're

how about "their"

Yes, because all of Canada has the same weather...

Here in Vancouver (new window)we're looking forward to yet another sunny and warm weekend. Link PNSFW, definitely NSFL.
