Lytton canada topped out at 49.6c , possibly 50c today . Holy ---- , holy heck it’s record is about the same as Phoenix Arizona now. 50c temps are some of the rarest possible temps and only ever recorded in few places in earth such as Death Valley , Iraq , and Arizona . Literally that’s it and the Sahara of course. But freaking lush 50 degrees north of the pacific north west in Canada !!!!!!! My god ! I am at a loss of words .

Yeah, Canada’s new record high set at Lytton (121F, breaking the old record of 113F prior to 2021) is hotter than the record high of all but four states!

5.13 here I can't complain

The Pacific NW heatwave was really something else. All-time highs falling by nearly 10 degrees in a lot of places. That’s basically like Raleigh (record high: 105F) topping out in the mid-110s!!!

Looks like every cumulus cloud is about to go off lol, gotta love days with high cape under ridges that can easily overperform vs short range models

That would be a quite the bust for the SPC. They don't even have our area in the general thunderstorm category...

I'm just curious as to what made this heat wave so much hotter than all previous heatwaves.

Keep in mind the short range models had nothing earlier

It's been unusually dry across the NW. Moisture soaks up the heat energy while dry grounds will quickly heat. Think desert. Florida lies along the same latitude as wastelands and deserts that are too far south to benefit from dynamical rain created by mid-latitude fronts. There's not much to initiate convection. S. Florida sees tropical rainfall cause it is between three bodies of water, but the abundant moisture prevents us from heating. The highest temp for my area was 100 or 101. Areas in the NW can see temperatures way above 100 cause they are elevated (high pressure has easier time compressing air), and areas to it's west experience dry conditions (Idaho, Western Montana).

Small chance of a shower this evening but that about wraps June up. Definitely scored on rain after 3 very dry months.

600+ dm ridge showing up in the central west states in the mid-long range. Yikes.

Looks primed for Denver to be breaking some all time record highs like we saw in the pacific NW this week.

@SD gfs looking toasty again, weird how models are now hugging some heat for us around the 10th and onwards . Hmmmm.
