      You know it’s crazy. This weekend I drove through Southern Utah Arizona and Vegas in Southern California. It was 109° in Las Vegas 106 in St George Utah and 105 and Baker California. But it’s expected in those areas during the summer. Canada that’s insane to have those temperatures. It’s hard to fathom that in France. Maybe in the south of France where it’s closer to the equator. But it’s still crazy to me. Well not crazy it’s further proof of global warming. Not that anyone that can do anything cares.

        Paris is ~5deg more northern than Montréal, it’s just how the ocean currents work and stuff that makes the weather different. Kinda fucked up, eh?

          Yeah I remember reading something about that at one point a couple months ago. They’re talking about how the European settlers when they first came to the United States they looked at the latitude and longitude of it and we’re absolutely dumbfounded at the difference in temperatures.

      Well, that doesn’t mean much. Cars in the sun are basically greenhouses.

        It had never read that high before. Also, the weather report was very nearly there, with the humidity, so do with that what you will.

        I didn’t specify it was what my car read because I didn’t know that that could have an effect, Sherlock.

      Temperature sensors in cars aren’t accurate if your car is in direct sunlight or over hot asphalt. If you need accuracy (and in this case I’d argue we do) you should grab the data from environment Canada.

        No shit! Almost like I specified because I wanted transparency or else I would just say that it was 44C out. Also, it was very nearly there with the humidity.
