We’re in for a heatwave. At least here in Vancouver, and I’ve heard that it’s not exactly getting any cooler in the BC Interior either. In fact, towns like Lytton are hitting the high 30s (that’s in Celsius, of course, so about 95 degrees Fahrenheit for any American readers out there. Tamara Taggart, voted favorite broadcaster, went out on a beach during tonight’s news and attempted to fry an egg on a frying pan, without the aid of a regular heating element of any kind… just the power of the sun and this blistering oven that we’re all experiencing right now. I didn’t manage to catch the end of the show, so I’m not sure how successful she was. Sorry.


From what I hear, it’s only going to get hotter over the course of the next few days, so I think it best to just hide away inside my house with all the windows open and fans going on their maximum setting. Of course, I’d still be in an oven.

For the record, Vancouver is nowhere close to being the hottest in the world. Arizona, I believe, hit 40 degrees today, and the all-time record (in recorded history, anyways) belongs to the country of Libya where it nearly hit 60 degrees Celsius back in the early 1900s. Now that’s pretty freaking hot.
