Summer arrived here today. π It's 82Β°F and sunny. Well, sort of sunny because we're getting smoke from wildfires in Alberta, Canada and it's a bit hazy (I am sorry for those who have to deal with wildfires and their aftermath).
I'm happy! ππΉποΈ

I'm with you - far too much rain lately, and even when it's not raining the clouds have hung around, so it's rather exciting to have a sunny day, finally!
shareWe were over 30 C this week which I think is in the higher 80's? I dunno, but it was warm. Today was supposed to be nice but we are covered by smoke from forest fires in the northern part of the province. It cooled right off and it was so dark around noon that the lights needed to be on.

Holy smokes! Oops, I mean, wow! Our sun looked like that this morning, although our sky was not that orange-y brown color - more of a yellowish, grayish haze.
shareLake Ontario likely to exceed record-high water levels - water, water everywhere.

Isn't that the truth? Lake Minnetonka, a very popular recreation spot in the Twin Cities area, has imposed a no-wake rule until water levels recede. And that's on the entire lake, not just a few of the bays. That means no water-skiing, and a speed limit of just 20 mph. I'll bet a lot of boating folks are really bummed about it.

I didn't know this, but certainly not a surprise.
