With an expected high today of 34°C (93.2°F). And Ontario Hydro predicts record power usage for today, and outages as air conditioners get cranked up all over the province.

So. Canadian Tire, IKEA, library, and Bayshore Shopping Centre: here we come.

ETA: Ooh, we've gone up in the last hour.

As of 8:57 am EDT:
Temp: 81°
Feels Like: 86°
Humidity: 79%

Granted, it's supposed to get to 97 and feel like 105, but I find it funny that you're way the hell up there in "cold" Alaska and getting the same temperature as we are down here in The South. At least down here we're used to it - 97% of homes have AC. *passes you a lemonade*

Yeah, I think most people here have air conditioning too. We just go under the sprinkler and drink lots of lemonade ;)

::skips off to look up stats:: Yeah, most. In Ontario, that's 75%. Apparently in the last ten years "energy consumed in the residential sector for space cooling has more than doubled." Wow.
