Big time heat in Montana

[Joel Wright]

Temps in much of the eastern half of Montana are over 100 this afternoon. The temperature's even approaching 110 in northeast Montana. Just across the border into Canada a report just north of the Montana border reads 111 as of 2pm MDT, with a few more hours of heating possible.

This is amazing to me, considering how unbearably cold it can be up in these parts in the winter!

Temperatures here are soaring also, and I've no doubt there will be plenty of records shattered. The heat wave is forecasted to last well into next week, with a brief repreive Thurs. and Friday.

Currently we're sitting at 34 C and 43% humidity, making it feel like 43 C. On the Fahrenheit scale, that amounts to 93 F and 109 F respectively.

There are many occasions when I seriously question the sanity of the people who settled this place. Our annual temperature ranges from -40 C to +35 C, a spread that few cities in the world can lay claim to.

Rock Glen Saskatchewan unofficially hit 115 degrees yesterday. If that was an official ASOS station, it would have been an all-time record high temperature for all of Canada.

Incredible.
