Scott Duncan on Twitter: "I can't believe I am writing this.
Canada 🇨🇦 has obliterated its national all-time heat record *for the second day in a row*.
Before yesterday, greater than 45°C had never been recorded. As far as climatology is concerned, this is deeply shocking."
Lytton, Canada, observed 47.9°C or 118°F.

48c isn't too far from normal for California.
In other news, it's still on fire- like always.

Apologies, I was trying to make a satyrical comparison between two stereotypically opposing climates.
@lucifargundam There is a good reason to compared temperatures with what they normally are at the same location.
The same temperature in subtropical and dry California produces a very different heat stress in humid moderate Canada. On top the infrastructure in Canada is not build for such temperatures.
