Heat Wave
Vancouver BC is in the midst of what is predicted to be a two week long heat wave. We have broken the highest temperture record two days in a row,
over 33°C right beside the ocean. My thermometer, in the city, said 40°C in the shade. The real problem: there is no wind.
My mood: sweltering.
S
Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

aj, you guys are used to high temperatures. This is as hot as it has been since they started the records. It has never been as hot as this. We have
never had more than two in a row over 30°C; it has been like this for a week already. Normally, Vancouver is in the mid 20s, or mid 70s F. We are in
the 90s F. Hardly anyone here has air conditioning at home. We usually never need it. Our low temperatures for the day are near the normal highs.
I would not really care if it brought some wind.

It's Been 90 and Muggy where I'm at In Mass all week but nice clean 16mph-18mph winds. I remember last summer I didn't get to fly the entire month of
July. I been out every day this week after work and been every weekend this month. :bigok: but really really hot with helmet and harness.

You'll get plenty of breezes... just before the hellacious thunderstorms that kind of heat always brings with it. (check my mood left!)
