I feel you.
It's 99 here with very hot dry winds. Keeps knocking over my neighborhood.
My neighbors tree fell on their bedroom yesterday!
I keep eyeballing mine lol.

And the 5% humidity is just grand lol.

It is during this time that I am thankful for the shade from the city trees..really helps us a lot..but just the same, it is hot..

Wow, 5% humidity..that is really low!

I think we will get that 99 or higher later by 3pm yet.

What part of Canada are you in? I hear the east and west are warm but we're sitting at 18C here right now! It gets in the 80's and 90's in my greenhouse with low humidity so I can relate. Come spring and summer - if it ever happens we get pretty warm and sunny here.

Dry isn't always a bad thing, or maybe I'm saying that because our average humidity today was 70% 0_o

I guess that is a blessing in some sense..we do not get extreme humidity, but when it is down to 10% to single digit humidity..wild fire danger, and just takes a toll later on any plant.

Luckily it is still bearable here..another story for San Diego and other SoCAL areas with wild fire already.
