British Columbia 40C - 104F

Ontario 40C - 104F

I lived in B.C until I was 19, then I moved to Ontario.
When I lived in B.C I didn't know air-conditioning inside a house was a thing. That was for cars.
I tried to roll down my car window when I first moved here and it was like putting a hair dryer in your face.
If you don't have air-conditioning in Ontario you're asking for trouble.

Psh... Kids these days. Think it's hot now just wait until the average temp is ~200

Ontarian here suffering with no A/C. When you turn on the gaming pc ? not to mention the humidity from the river beside the house.

AC uses electricity. Electricity generation uses mostly fossil fuel. Burning fossils = CO2 emissions = higher temperatures = more AC sales

In Ontario we use mostly hydro and nuclear. We're lucky to have Niagara Falls.

I also lived in BC. I always had air conditioning. Okanagan summers are no joke constantly hitting 30-40 so it was death if you had none.

Oh please I grew up in Ontario, never had AC. Hell I spent a couple years in Malaysia, also no AC. ??

My son moved from ON to BC last year. He's sailing through the heat wave well. I can't believe all the deaths. Too sad.

BC here. Sat down in my car the other day after work and nearly melted my hand touching the leather wheel. Car said it was 46. Crazy.

Possibly one of the funniest movies of all time. Used racism to make fun of racists. Can't imagine the backlash it would get if made today

Every year when we hit 114, I'm ready with this bit. Mel Brooks is the only thing keeping me laughing through the worst of it.

People talk about the Arizona heat and California heat but Ontario summer heat is no joke.

Dry vs moist heat. Increase humidity reduces the body's ability to cool from perspiration, so you end up hotter.

Ontario: when you want to see 40 degrees from both directions every year.

Typical Ontario summer has stretches of “95 and 95” - 95F and 95% humidity with big thunderstorms nightly. Doesn’t sound as nasty.

2/2 when you have the temp in Celsius. Chewable air.

Yeah, we always have a couple weeks like this, but not in June. It's usually in August, maybe in late July. How many more are we going /1

I hate that ac's waste incredible amounts of energy. Like climate change will make ac necessary in many countries where it wasn't (1/?)

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

before wich will make climate change even worse. Writing from middle Europe where this for sure is true... (2/2)

It was 49C with 51% humidity yesterday on the West Coast somewhere, forgot where, but yeah, fuck that shit.

Assuming you mean Lytton, which hit 49.6C. The town was evacuated today as it was overrun by a forest fire.
