Put a Spring in Your Step and a Weather Explanation (This is Monday's post)

Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! Thank you so much for visiting me here today! I wanted to clarify something that I mentioned in my last post. 

It actually has been rainy and chilly here in Montreal. I don't mind it and actually find it good, and this is because the forecast calls for this summer to be a scorcher. 

Summers in Quebec can get extremely hot and humid, and since we also have the wildfires to deal with, it worsens the already hot temperatures because the air quality gets very bad. 

Our temperatures have gone up as high as 45 celsius...or 113 fahrenheit! This is why for me the cooler, rainy temperatures are fine. 

Many people are surprised that our temperatures can (and do at times) reach this high, but when they do it feels like you are stepping into a hot oven when you go outside. So much so that we get weather warnings to not venture outside unless you really need to, especially the elderly and people with any underlying health conditions. 

This is why for me the weather has been good, even if it has been rainy and chilly. When summer and the heat I described above hit, the wildfires start and without rain, it is very difficult to put them out. 

Wildlife suffer or die and some people have to evacuate their homes...and are fortunate if they do not lose their homes.

Thanks to Asep for the tip on breaking this up into paragraphs in order to make this easier to read. I hope 🙏 this helps.

This is a very short video by the Just for Laughs group here in Montreal. No matter what language you speak you will understand, because there is no talking in these videos...none that we need to hear or understand, anyway. These are called Just for Laughs Gags. In French, they are called Just pour Rire.  Enjoy!  :)
