Extreme Heat! Next 7 Days!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Forecast for Friday locally has varied between 33 and 38. That is unheard of in recent memory. The 24 year records through environment Canada for early August are almost all under 30 degrees.
The smoke does make it more bearable, although it hasn't convinced the forecasters to dial back their numbers at all.

Bashing his practices and telling him what to do? I was merely asking a question.
I suppose I'm not allowed to ask sheepwheat where the forest fires are that are causing his haze either? There sure are a lot of tinpot little dictators on this site all of the sudden trying to control what others can and can't post.

I understand BC and Washington state is where the smoke is from. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/smoke-from-b-c-wildfires-prompt-air-quality-advisories-across-alberta-1.4777625

Good to hear from you Tom. How are crops in your part of the world?

Yes the smoke helped big time yesterday, most likely today as well . Leaves Friday as one real hot day then big change for a few days. Looks like we dodged the “heat wave” and got a couple warm days and one hot day here in this area

So far we’re on average three C less than Regina on most days so far and thick smoke.

Been short of forecast temps by three to six degrees. No thirty here yet. Wanted it for my slow drying hay here in humidville.

Yes the humidity is just insane this summer and with summer being a little short on rain where dose it come from?
70% right now and I don't think it went much below 55% in the middle of the afternoon.

Is this just an eastern problem or are other areas just as bad?

Central ab usually humid wet and cooler but not this year. Today was 34C, 22% humidity and windy, never seen anything like this here, everything is just dying. We are cooling down at night with some dew but that's the only moisture. We will be harvesting before too long, will be a first that we have done anything in August here.

We had that here last week couldn't get hay baled until late in the afternoon due to humidity. Not had as much humidity as we usually get this summer with it being so dry but it still picks the moisture up from the lakes and large water bodies I think.

Windows of the house soaking wet in the mornings, hay is drying slow. Can’t seem to win!

If it doesn't change its going to take a long time for a swathed crop to dry.

102° and climbing here. Wow. Everything green noticeably wilting.
