Didn't it get to like 37/38 in that heat wave three years ago?

Yes, City of Edm was around 37, but this is the airport reading, and believe it reached around 33 in June 2021.
For Edmonton, next Wednesday looks to be the 4th hottest July day ever.

Umm, that 37 is kind of missing from their chart thingy.
Predictions from 2021:
Edmonton set to reach 40 C mid-week as 11 heat records broken Saturday across Alberta | Globalnews.ca
A heat wave being described as "prolonged, dangerous, and historic" has just started in Alberta.

The 37 was in June though, chart is for July only. It dropped to 35 on July 1, which is third on the chart.
Yes. That’s when my AC unit decided to pack it in.

Ahh. I guess that historic heat wave didn't last very long then.

We were driving to our summer place in the interior that day. Was in the low to mid 40’s when we arrived. A tad too hot for me. Going to be around 40 here next week, lots of jumping in the lake time and leaving the exercise till the late evening.
Yeah that gets too hot. The lake is the best place to be then with lots of cold beer!

As they are want to do during times of immense stress. Same with the bloody furnaces crapping out during 40 below.

Heh, try working in a School where there is no air handling unit, no Air conditioning, and the walls are built with wood, no concrete, and you are expected to do a full 8 hours job of moving furniture and cleaning the school. You are basically working in a wooden shed at 36 degrees Celsius inside.
f*** this.
Here is a site that sells “air conditioned” clothing. Was thinking gifting my brother a shirt because he is working in this heat, not sure if it’s real lol

This heat is oppressive. Already like 21 and it's not even 7am, I'm praying for rain to cool it down.

It's 30.5 in my house already and the hot part of the day hasnt even started yet. I just feel bad for our pets, because they have little to no desire to hang out in the basement.
Gotta figure out a way to set the oven to cold.

If I’m ever able to retire, I’m moving to Iceland. Yes I know it’s not a country of ice but their average year-round temps are in my wheelhouse.
I was thinking if I can’t afford to retire, I would drive out into a wooded area with a shovel and pick axe and just start digging.
It would be cool deep under a mountain right? And all of the cool bugs I would find..

I look forward to the day(s) when it rains and its cool/cold. Such a relief it would be with the added benefit of proving that any drought and global warming is a hoax.
At least Thursday night its supposed to cool off a bit (to 15) as opposed to staying at 22/23 like it has the last few days. That will make a big difference
