Today's Weather Trivia:
1913: In Montreal, QC, 34°C heat caused 2 people to die; many others were
hospitalized for heatstroke. Thousands left the city, seeking relief, and
those remaining crowded into parks and other recreation and amusement areas.
At one park, near panic ensued when a small long-haired dog became agitated
by the heat and ran through the crowd, yelping and snapping. A cry of "mad
dog" was raised.

C-class flare for the next three days (06-08 July).

The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet levels on day one (06 July). Quiet to unsettled
levels, with isolated active levels, are expected late on day two (07 July)
and day three (08 July). The increase in activity is due to a recurrent

The Moon is creeping up on Saturn tonight. The planet looks like a bright
