Awesome...yeah the past week has been cold at elevation in BC. Couple days ago I saw some mountains from Cranbrook that had fresh snow on them already. In Alaska, they call that "termination dust", which signals the end of summer. It really has ended, even if there are some nice days left in September or even October. |

Current rainfall forecast. 15+ inches shown in coastal SE Louisiana! Shows me with around 5". It's been dry here this month, so we can handle a good bit of rainfall. I've had 1.43" so far in August (including about half an inch from a t-storm today).  South Florida could really use a topical storm right about now. |

Though Cadeau doesn't like heat, I think it has been a bit chilly for him as well during his Finland trip. The last week has been the 10th coldest at Helsinki Airport since 1959, and the coldest since 1994. Mean temp has been 13.2C, which is the normal mean temp during the period from 5 to 11 September. For Turku it's the coldest since 1992 with a mean temp of 13.5C.
Where did you find the stat to figure out that it was the 10th coldest? Just curious. Looks like the last week means the recent 7 days(19th to 25th) based on this data: cdn.fmi.fi/fmiodata-convert-api/preview/2b2a9c41-83fd-4462-bece-e4e83363a782/?locale=enFollowing the period, downtown Helsinki had a 13.9°C mean. The weather I personally experienced was slightly cooler than suggested above. The autumn-like temperature itself didn't bother me much at all, if not, savour the moment. When the clouds were thinner, felt much warmer than the actual temperature on the report says. Only minor hassle was incessant rainfall on Wednesday while walking between districts but we originally planned to focus on museums and shopping at Stockmann and Kamppi Center anyway so spent most of the time indoors on that day. Showers on Thursday around noon after visiting Kaisaniemi was moderate enough to made my clothes soaked, got annoyed a little bit and went back to the hotel to relax until going back to the airport. | Date | High | Low | Mean | Precipitation | | 22 August 2021 | 17.3°C | 11.8°C | 14.5°C |

Same source, which is extracted from FMI's open data says that the period between the 19th and 25th was the 5th wettest since 1959.
BTW, I would be eager to hear a full detailed travel report from you when you have the time.

Today is the 16th day of the year to reach 90 F/32 C or above. At one point today it was 88 F/31 C with a dewpoint of 75 F/24 C (heat index 98 F/37 C). Maybe the last 90 F reading of the year but too soon to say with certainty. Managed to hit 90 F again today so that makes it number 17. 80 F/27 C with a dewpoint of 74 F/23 C as of the 7PM update. Dewpoint was hovering around 75 F/24 C all afternoon. This has probably been one of the most uncomfortable weeks this summer. Tomorrow looks more bearable with a forecast high of 75 F/24 C (wouldn't be shocked if it overperforms though). Real relief in the forecast for next week with highs in the low-to-mid 70s and lows in the 50s. Just been ghastly humid lately so this will be a nice change. |

Sunny high/low of 93/76 with late afternoon thunderstorms, which produced the daily minimum.
4th consecutive day in the 90s. June had 9 90+ (max of 100), July had 8 90+ (max of 96), and August had 8 90+ (max of 98) so far, for a grand total of 25 90+ so far. Maybe an isolated 90+ here and there, but pretty much done by this point.

We had another thunderstorm roll through last night, woke me up around 2:45am. I was just coming off an extremely busy week at work with the previous two days having started super early and really needed to get a proper night of sleep before today's work day which was yet again super busy. As a result, I actually found myself feeling annoyed at the thunderstorm and wishing it would hurry up and pass - now that is a true rarity for me!

Last night (the 26th) had a nice lightning show to the north in the evening. No thunder or rain here but it did get pretty breezy.
Today had a high of 92 (33 c), the 40th 90 of the year.
That’s already 8th most all time, should get another few, so should be at least top 5.

Holy shit, snow in the forecast for Fairbanks tonight:  Since 1903, snow in August has happened ten times in Fairbanks. So it's a once every 12 years event or so for them. Not as rare as you'd think, but still very notable. |
