People who know me, know that I HATE the heat.. Give me -30c over +30c anytime. Yes, I know, I sound nuts but I get Uber cranky when the heat kicks in. That’s because when it gets hot in this city, it gets humid. Except, this week. This weather, is very rare IMHO. It’s so rare that it’s hot and not humid.

It’s that sticky, icky, I think I’m gonna barf humidity that gets me.. You know the kind when you wake up at 3am and you feel like you slept in a vat of ooze ?

I have a friend of mine who is in town who lives in Bogata. She told me that where she lives, it rarely goes above 20c.

Oh to dream.

So for now, I’m on alert, but I’m not complaining. This heat is OK, as long as it doesn’t get sticky. The best way to determine the sticky levels, is to watch the Dew Point. Environment Canada and Meteo Media both report it. Anything over 17c as a dew point and I start complaining.

This website, which is a amateur website for weather nutters in Quebec shows the various models that will predict dew point for the coming days. Go down to the section that says “Official and model forecasts (GEM data comes from EC) :” and look for “météog” and there you will see the various predictions for various lengths of time.. When you open the chart, look for dew point.

But if you don’t care anywhere near as much as I do, it looks like the sticky factor will stay low for at least the next 5 days.

Phew!
