Thoughts on how hot it can get in Detroit tomorrow?

The first very odd tree (stressed) is starting to change colours. Happens every year around this time.

haha I saw that yesterday as well. Flew right over top leaving town.

Yep some scattered 30s and low 40s in Northern Ontario this morning. 40.5F in Timmins

Yep, it was a very humid summer and Toronto got absolutely burned this year by just missing 86F. Tons of 85.6F type days. lol the other day hit 29.9C or 85.8F. Id have to take a look but if you added .5F to those days you'd probably double Torontos 86F days from 9 to 18. One thing missing though (because of all the humidity?) is the 90F+ type days at Pearson.

Yep. We will see heat but the summer failed the extreme heat in this area of the Great Lakes. Though it was very humid

This summer in Toronto is above average but in the record books will actually look tame. We've only gone over 86F 7 times this year which assuming we cant get to 13 means the least amount in a decade. But instead of a cold summer its because so many days ended up at 83-85F

Interesting to me it's always August. It's still very warm and humid stale air. Not until the end of August do you start to notice the subtle changes that the season is about to change.

Yep, it's the overnight lows here doing the heavy lifting as well. Average here is 81/59F but we've been seeing 84/66F so it's really pushing the "hotter" average.

Fully agree. Also to respond to climate change, Buffalo has been slightly warmer compared to Toronto. It has been above normal, zero disagreements there. But the extreme heat hasn't really occurred. I know that this conversation happens in winter but with every week that passes without 86F+ it gets tougher and tougher for Toronto to make up ground and make this a summer to remember. Can Toronto see 15-20 days in August over 86F, sure. Will it happen, most likely not. My guess is we see about 3 more in July, 5 in August and the common 2 in September. Toronto has only gone at or above 86F twice this month. And both were 86F haha

For Toronto itself this summer is just looking like a warm but not crazy hot summer. Only hit 86F 7 times so far. The season most likely sees under 20 and that would mean the next 6 weeks have to be pumping heat. For reference the summer a lot here expected was 2020 which saw 35 days above 86F

Ya, a few days there was crazy. 75-80F Toronto and 90F Buffalo

Looks to be a bit cooler on the upper and eastern Great Lakes than originally thought. Though still above average just not crazy heat.

40s for lows across most of southern Ontario with some upper 30s possible in the Algonquin area.

Toronto was forecast for 91F and hit 86F. Going to be tough to get 90F with daily storms.

lol ya, today was nothing. Morning was 56F and high was 78F then rain and 71F for a few hours For my backyard this is a pretty lame heatwave to begin. Just a normal summer day

lol this is the summer equivalent of my snowfall debate with a few here. I ended up being right with Toronto having one of its worst snowfall seasons on record. Hopefully Im wrong this time with the heat and Toronto hits 100F for the first time in 13 years.

Last summer in Toronto had already seen 3 days above 86F with highest being 91F on June 2nd Currently- 0 days above 86F with highest being 85F Last year saw 13 days above 86F. I hope Im wrong and we absolutely torch the rest of the summer but currently 2023 had hotter days up to this point.

Ya, I think this summer ends up just slightly above average and that’s mostly due to the overnight lows. Pretty much a similar summer to last year where there wasn’t much actual heat.

The heat for the eastern lakes keeps getting pushed back. The hype for this summer being hottest in years in the local media means the population will lose more trust of these seasonal forecasts.

Id love Toronto to hit 95F or above a few times this year. Been about 12 years since we hit 100F

Last summer stunk for heat out in the eastern lakes. Our hottest stretch wasn’t until September I’m hoping for big time heat this summer. 2020 style

I work outside and love the 86F plus days haha

Tough to get cooler than normal here but agree that Im begining to question the hype this summer has. Seems like most are saying "one of the hottest ever" with lots of heatwaves. Im covering my plants tonight because expected low is 35F and I'm under a frost advisory. One of the latest in recent memory for my place.

Ya, I’ll be covering the garden. Getting a bit more nervous now
