I miss Halifax weather

[c9]

Some items:

Every day for weeks now the forecast has included either or both of these:
- Humidex advisory in effect
- Smog advisory in effect.

The past two days the temperature has been 35 degrees or higher, not including humidex. That's been over 40 pretty often.

In the morning, I see smoggy haze over the park.

We had a smog warning in February.


As much as the weather in Halifax drives one to drink, I miss it.

I'd change weather any day with you. Even if you were to die from the smog at age 50 in Ontario, you will have experienced more days of sun than someone who lives to be 108 in Halifax.

We have had only 2 (maybe 3) weekends since the first of May that it did not rain on either Saturday or Sunday... and on over half of them it rained on both days. The Halifax International Airport in basically shut down, because we have had fog pretty much every day over the last 3 weeks (the automated landing stuff is being repaired, so landing in fog not easy).

Places in Canada colder than Halifax today? Iqaluit and Whitehorse. That's a change, because usually Whitehorse is warmer. :|

I knew I'd get a comment from you. :)

I'm actually in town July 17-22, so I'll get to experience the rain, fog, runways, everything! I'm giddy.

I dunno, looks like you're in for some pretty warm and decent weather this week (http://www.weather.ca/weather/cities/can/pages/CANS0057.htm)

Funny thing is... in tha lsat 2 weeks or so, it is always supposed to be mainly sunny in the next few days. But when those days actually arrive, it's cold and cloudly, if not raining.

I'll bet you a dollar it is not as hot or nice as it says, and in fact, it will rain on either Saturday or Sunday.

Be sure to keep me filled in ;-)

You know you're from Ontario when: You frequently use the word "humidex" when talking about your weather. LOL

I love how weather is on the cutting edge of making up words, like "smog" and "humidex". I eagerly awaiting the invention of the smoomidex.

Wow, the word smog is much older than I thought!

Smog is a form of air pollution. The term was first used in 1905 to describe the combination of smoke and thick fog that at times hung over London and other cities in Britain. Today, smog also refers to a condition caused by the action of sunlight on the exhaust gases from automobiles and factories. This type of smog is sometimes called photochemical smog. --World Book Encyclopedia

i keep forgetting you're in canada. When you said it was 40 degrees, I thought, "WhaT?? it's summer!" But you don't mean fahrenheit. :)

You will be "happy" to se that Kitchener has poorer air quality than Toronto:

You are probably getting all the crap from Toronto blown into the city...
