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.

 
Cooper420 2009-07-14 01:26:50 PM  
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.

 
Rootbzzr 2009-07-14 01:27:04 PM  
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.

 
threedingers 2009-07-14 01:27:07 PM  
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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

 
Playerslight 2009-07-14 01:34:45 PM  
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.

 
Patterson 2009-07-14 01:34:53 PM  
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.

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

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

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

 
hockeyfarker [TotalFark] 2009-07-14 01:37:08 PM  
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.

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.
