Aside from later this week and a bit of hot weather at the start of the month, sure been a mild, rainy and windy July this year. Pretty disappointing.

Agree it's pretty disappointing, but I have enjoyed being able to breathe for the first summer in years!

I've gone camping three times since mid-June and have had a total of one full-sun and hot day, which was on the last day of one of our trips as we were packing up to leave. It feels like most of the few really nice days we've had have fallen mid-week. I'm off next week so I'm hoping that rain doesn't stick around too long.

For summer, I want nice, hot weather.
I know it brings forest fires but summer is for hot weather with evening/overnight showers/thunderstorms.

Was in Hinton a couple weekends ago, and we had about 3 hours of sunlight over the course of 4 days. Invested in a decent tarp as soon as I got home.

Edmonton weather: has it really been THAT cool this summer?
There’s been a lot of chatter about the lack of heat this summer. But, that’s more perception than reality when you look at the numbers and there’s some recency bias playing into that perception.

I predict that the weekend weather will flip-flop like your average politician.

Edmonton is under a heat warning.
Nice to see some heat in our summer.

Alberta’s renewable energy development queue has reached its lowest point since at least February 2023, according to a Pembina Institute researcher’s analysis of the situation. The analysis suggested the queue volume may rebound when the Alberta Electric System Operator opens its third cluster process for new generation projects in October, but policy decisions may give investors “cold feet.”

Forgot to post - Cardston got hit by a storm cell of tennis-ball sized hail. 3000 acres of crops, at least 50 insured vehicles, and ag equipment have been damaged.

A University of BC study showed that clearcutting forested areas increases the likelihood of flooding by 18x, and increases the size of floods by 50-100%.

Every area that had massive forest fires had flooding right after. Ft mac I particular. I was in doing damage assessment for the fire then A rainstorm 2 months later flooded areas missed in the downtown area.
Mount edit road is still not open because of stability issues. No roots to hold the hill. So any rain will cause debris flows. Again this happened as well in Litton.
