Conditions at my location near Liverpool,NS at 7:28:25 AM : 19.0°C (Normals: Max: 22°C Min: 13°C) | Clear | Wind: NW 21 km/h
Yesterday was quite warm here with temps in the upper 20Cs.The evening was mild with rising humidity levels.Overnight temps were in the high teens.
A late summer ‘heat wave’ is now parked over our area and temps will be almost 10° above normal for the next 3 or 4 days.Things will be changing at the end of the week when Hurricane Earl arrives.Whether or not we will get a direct hit is yet to be determined.At this point it looks like it may possible stay offshore but it will be close enough for us to be getting wind and rain.
The forecast for our area issued by Environment Canada :
Today
Sunny. Wind northwest 20 km/h. High 30. UV index 6 or high.
Tonight
A few clouds. Wind northwest 20 km/h becoming light this evening. Low 18.

Today’s Weather Trivia:
30 August 2008: A slow-moving low pressure system brought copious amounts of rain to parts of southern Manitoba. The heaviest amounts occurred from Dauphin through Gypsumville to Berens River where upwards of 100 mm fell. Overland flooding swamped fields, swelled ditches, and overtopped roads. More September rains were the final straw for cattle producers who, unable to afford hay, began liquidating their herds. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Well, I am just glad we installed window tint on our living room windows so our AC does not have to run as much and we save energy on our electric bills. We purchased affordable window tint kits from SnapTint and installed it ourselves. What a difference in home cool the room stays now. Check out SnapTint's website for more information.
