Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess
susha:
Looks like, in spite of the heat, humidity and tornado danger, three are out of the nestbox. Not sure - there could be someone against the back wall behind the blur, but I don't think so. That's probably Green, leaning against the south corner of the box, yacking at her sibs..."I want to come out too, but I need to grow some more and get stronger! I'm huge, you know!" Maybe she's just panting and not yacking... ??? ::)
Kinderchick:
Just got back home after doing some errands. Spent about 1&1/2 hrs. (12:30-2:00 PM) downtown watching the nestbox with my binoculars. Kept seeing one chick hop up on the ledge, then back into the nestbox. Sure was hot down there, with the humidity. :P Looked for others with binocs looking up, but didn't see anyone.
msdolittle:
stinking hot with a tornado watch on the side! :)
bccs:
Well now, to be concise here, it's stinking hot >:(

--- Quote from: The Peregrine Chick on July 03, 2010, 15:00 ---For those of you watching the chicks pant but who aren't here in Winnipeg to enjoy our "lovely" weather ... current temp is 28.7C but with the humidex (like wind chill index isn't enough for us) it feels like 40C - that's 83.7F and 104F for our friends south of the border and about to celebrate Independence Day!
the 40C/104F isn't so very unusual here (for those of us old enough to remember it) but the humidity is unusual - aacck, southern Ontario weather :P

Humidex reckoning
The humidex combines the temperature and humidity into one number to reflect the perceived temperature. It is a better measure of how stifling the air feels than either temperature or humidity alone, according to Environment Canada.
According to the Meteorological Service of Canada, a humidex of 30 causes "some discomfort," over 40 causes "great discomfort" and above 45 is "dangerous."
The air temperature was forecast to hit 32 degrees Friday and 31 on Saturday.
