Torchageddon

We're on day 3 out of 4 of above 28C/82.5F highs with Sat reaching 30C! I was irked in Sept that we didn't have any highs above 25C; I needed more and Oct delivers. Last week 4 out of 7 days had few if any clouds too, crazy. Low was 17C, it was nice waking up without feeling cold in t-shirt and shorts. That low is higher than the daytime avg high.

With a few mins left in Sep, its certain that my lowest low for the month will be higher than my Aug low! Insane. I'm also set to have a warmer 3-day stretch this weekend than any 3 this month too, but likely just tie the highest Sep reading. No clouds to be found for the 2nd day here, impressive for this time of year and region.

Somehow based on my pegged lows Aug will have had a lower monthly low then September will, it got down to 5.3C on Aug 30th and I haven't had anything lower than 5.9C on the 9th!! Forecast for 6C low this Weds which is Oct 1. This is an incredibly unlikely occurrence. After the terrible wx last week we've turned a leaf and its sunny again, no clouds today here. Yet again WUN/TWN shows 10 days of no precip, I wish!! Even better, mainly to out sun those 10 days lol.

TWN had storms honed for my region, they formed elsewhere just to my east like 2-3 years ago that one summer they spawned just miles east every time. Kitchener got some and this MCS appeared to bow out a bit after the city. It was heavy rain cells with thunder I presume but one gained just east of downtown Toronto. Liked the air out there today, 27C. Fantastic summer all around.

Not a cloud in the sky and its noon on Sept 17, can't say I've had that since Aug but for this time of year its very rare. Highs reaching 27C. Second amazing Sept in a row.

Yeah it feels like an eon after the swarm we had for storms. I had a dream where a vicious storm was approaching at noon and inside you could barely see; it was so profoundly dark (some precursors to tornadoes a veil of total darkness descends moments before). Intense, sharp, bright lightning that was terrifying not knowing if it was right above you. Pitch black skies and two mesos spotted. Craving?

With a temp profile like that, the party in my view would be getting started . The multi-year trend of swinging from extremes continues with an incredible stretch ongoing of mainly sunny, dry, and pleasant temps also here. 10-day shows only 1 day of overcast! I don't buy it but I want to believe. The wx has been boring for so long. I was at the highest number of t-storms I've tracked in a year up til early Aug now nothing for a long time.

Forecast to be a terrible day of rain and cold temps (16C/61F), it just rained in the morning then the sun started coming out around noon slowly. Blew right past peg high and flirts with 21C/70F! Pavement even dried up.

Sat nights are the new storm times. Last week I got my 22nd storm late into the wee hours of Sun but tonight it may be a dud. The line was broken and I hit the gap. At 8 it was eerie darkness like a sickly pale colour in the sky - my unit showed 0 lux but seemed brighter than that. Despite the clouds the air was great like cottage wood mix with grass trimmings. 27C for a high.

2018 was the year when my first t-storm or thunder was in late Aug, nada before that! After all these years I still can't believe it. Total opposite this year, I'm at 20 and its not even a 3rd of Aug done with. Storms have been weak this summer. Got to 30C/86F first time in a min I saw good sunlight again. A long lived heat event is starting!

I had my 20th storm of 2025 this aft but it sort of went to my east, just got sprinkles and long, soft rolling thunder for 30 mins. 140 strikes. It was the very rare due south dir cells. Crickets started yesterday. Mostly cloudy today and with all the smoke its becoming less sunny now, oof!! That 10 day last week showing mostly sunny for the next period here really busted not just for smoke blot but typical cloudiness.

Overperformed to 27C/80F with low dews and fresh air on Fri. For a few days now WUN has 30C/86F continuously maybe starting Mon if we exceed by 2, all the way til the last slot on Mon the 11th! What a magnificent stretch it'd be.

I deem that I'm on the ring of fire as my rain is coming from storms; the few times I got steady it was less than 4mm and lasted a few hours this summer. The ground got wet Sat and now no rain forecast for 12 days, I extolled my 10-day in the other thread showing mainly sunny every single day, 2 days later its still showing this with the Euro to support.

Its been a bit of a cloudy weekend but it cleared early this aft, humidity in control. A very rare 10-day from WUN showing mostly sunny the whole way through!! Blessed. I checked a 10-day I saved from Jul 16 and found that it correctly predicted the storm I had Thurs 8 days out. Even the exact amount of rain (9mm)!! I was a bit higher for temps at 33C with DP at 27C. Low was .7C off from recorded.

Got a solid squall line quickly move through, 19th storm of 2025. 9mm in 35 mins, 230 strikes all CC. Finally saw a shelf cloud and fantastic hues of blue. What might be the most impressive part was how dark it got at 5:30, 100 lux!! 34C/93F for a high, windy again. I didn't find it all that humid but there was a humidex of 43. I enjoyed it and made an effort to be outside to take it all in.
