2023 - How's the Weather Where You Are?

The weather here in NB was a bit gusty with some showers but Nova Scotia's coastline really got it yesterday! Horrendous thunderstorms and rain. Roads are washed out, just about everyone's basement is flooded. In the Halifax HRM it is the worst flooding since a hurricane hit in 1971! My younger daughter lives there and they had to dig a ditch to divert the water away from the walls of their home. Regrettably some got in just the same! Quite the mess all around!

Hope you're ok, OS. We had a big one earlier this week, too.

Yep, it's a stalled front that's been affecting the whole Eastern Seaboard! :( We, in NB are far enough away from it (except from suffering from heat and humidity) that we are not bothered by the most severe effects! The most damage done here was to my tomato plant, that kept getting knocked over by the wind! Since then tied down securely! :)
 
We have weather that mimics San Francisco. As I recall Mark Twain once said that the coldest winter he ever spent was one summer in San Francisco. Not to say that it‘s really that cold here or in San Francisco, but while much of the country is experiencing blistering heat, we are in the 70s. At night it’s downright cold, so no need for air conditioning, all we ever need is a good fan.
 
@Oldsalt not long ago you were being battered by the weather. Is this happening again. The news was showing the flooding in your general area, I believe.

Edit: I just saw your post here. So overwhelming.
 
The Province I consider home has had more than its share of destructive weather events during the past year.

First there was Hurricane Fiona, then a late spring killer frost, ruining quite a few of our crops, then we had the wildfires recently, destroying 151 homes in the Halifax area, now enough rainfall for three months, all in one day, with immense damage, in the same area!

I feel terrible for the people affected. I may live in New Brunswick but I left my heart in N.S.
 
Hot, humid and lots of thunderstorms in the forecast! It's become hard to plan anything for outdoors. By the middle of the week, our real feel temperature is supposed to reach 105! That's the highest I can remember.

We got hit with Fiona last year but weren’t affected by the fires. At the moment we are getting hit with substantial rainfalls. In the last 2 days we are receiving up to 100 ml of rain. Bridges are being washed away and 4 people are missing. People were warned not to drive and did anyway and some got washed away down the rivers.
