I think that's why most cruise lines don't stop in Ottawa

For people without A/C, one of the comments suggests going to the public library to stay cool

How to beat the heat in Ottawa this weekend

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I didn’t think going to the library was cool these days.

I still remember the excitement of getting my own library card as a boy in British Columbia.

And when my children were young, they had the same experience in a small town south of Ottawa. Getting a new batch of books was a weekly thrill.

Sometimes We lose something with progress.

Might storm tonight i hope so get humidity out of the air.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

For Ottawa, it will be continuing another day. Relief coming late Saturday or Sunday morning.

Everything happens for a reason Maybe next heat wave, Health Canada will hand out ice-cream vouchers.

Been living on Popsicle's and ice cream and of course ginger ale very humid here muggy suppose to get relief tonight or tomorrow with heat.

The problem with buying ice cream or popsicles in this weather is they are melted by the time you get them home.

I stocked up before heat wave hit me again. Three boxes of Popsicle's all chocolate and 3 containers of different ice cream vanilla, chocolate-mint and my favorite maple walnut finally found some. I also freeze my yogurts i buy on sale close to ending date and just eat it frozen it is good. All the ice cream was on sale for 1.99 and Popsicle's half price. If it cools down tomorrow i will go get more icecream as i am running low on that.

Just jumped into the Otanabee river it is not too cold just cool and it help to decrease my body core some and it help my daughters joint pain to lessen some. I went down and got her she is with me now .

I use a cooler in the summer.

I use a cooler in the summer.

You know, I actually have one and it never occurred to me to use it for that purpose.

Mind you, I have to find and freeze the cooler bags...

 

[Daniel E.]

I never thought about it before moving to Arizona. Even bread can get bad and sweat on the half-hour drive home if the car A/C is not on much. mg: One thing I miss about Florida was the bread was softer/fresher.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

The heat wave broke last night. Significant drop in humidity.

 

[forgetmenot]

Not bad right now here 72 degrees in house unlike yesterday it was 82 degrees but it is still early going outside while it is not too hot to do so.

 

[forgetmenot]

Nice breeze outside but hot inside 80 degrees hoping it cools down soon. Fan is on high.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

It sounds like it will get hotter and more humid again as the week goes on but at least we’ll get a bit of a break.
