#Ottawa weather update: All in all summer day, UV 5, Air quality 2, High 26. Rain forecasted in the late PM commute.
I just checked the weather radar. This one's going to hit pretty hard. Hopefully you're not outside. If so, duck and cover 😂
Ottawa weather update: Rain expected 1-3pm. UV low. Air quality good (2/10)
I know. We're not immune. Nor is Europe, we're just thankfully at much lower levels. People want to believe 😂
I would start a GoFundMe. A water bomber can level a house down to sticks with a direct hit. It's like dropping concrete.
Who would have thought a tiny box with just font for advertising in the stabward market would fail to attract people... Like where the 🤬 do these people go to school 😂 - and we're giving them millions? Someone please teach them how to Google, before they go broke 😁
Yeah, it's completely austerity. I went to Belleville and I looked at the recreation place that they put down. I think there are three or four ice rinks, full gym + programming, full swimming pool + the programming that goes with it, merged city services. The only reason we don't do it is BS.
When people say they want limited government, and self-regulation. Remind them it's a lot of, lot of, diarrhea 😂
So the weather for the next 3 days is going to be sweaty. Luckily, depending on your demeanor, no rain. Air quality remains okay for the next 3 days (3/10). The only thing of note is high UV tomorrow. Oh, and the 90 plus humidity during the a.m. commute 😂
Air quality is going to be slightly degraded today but still adequate. It can already see it on the horizon. 3/10
I mean it's not a big place, and most of it is mountainous. So, it might be just hyper localized. 7 to 10 hours and you're out of the country from any point.
Rain continues till about 2:00 p.m., with a break around 9:00-10 - mostly light rain.
You put down protective barriers to protect bike riders, and the biggest complaint is that cars are flipping and smashing into them - ruining their vehicles. I know it's a radical idea - but I think that you should know how to drive, if you're on the road.
We are in a stagnant weather pattern which is slowly moving Northeast. The next round should be around 9:30 gaining an intensity overnight. Peaking just in time for the commute. You don't have to take tomorrow - Unless you're in Quebec 😜
Overall not too bad here at Bayshore. Guessing the storm shield is doing its job. The blob should get heavier around 5:00 p.m. onwards, as the main body moves in.
Second band of rain is coming from the south and then it will merge with a northerly blob. Rain should start around 12:30, and decisively pick up after 1:00 p.m.
#Ottawa weather 🚨: We're on track for 40-50 mm. The first band (light) is hitting now. The second band starts at 12 and pummels us till 8:00 p.m. Rain will be heavy to very heavy based on forecasting.
In Transit‑Pythagoras, the “Express Diagonal” is shorter then the squared sum time of the legs - but it cannot be drawn because the diagonal was cut 15‑years ago to save money.
4 years ago today, I found my cottage toilet meowing after a storm and we have been inseparable ever since.
@helps.octranspo.com you got to give a proof read to your posts. Your sending out mangled messages to everyone.
#Ottawa weather: Happy Friday 🎉 High UV. Great air quality moving into the poor tomorrow. High of 29, low humidity. High of 29.
#Ottawa weather update: Spitting rain all day till 12-5pm where it will spit a bit harder. Humidity will break to 70% during daylight hours. UV today is high (7/10+). Air quality is excellent to good (0-2). Sunday is forecasted 20mm of rain or so.
#ottawa weather update: A short period of rain should be starting right now for the east side of Ottawa, and within about 15 minutes for the rest of us. It may last till 5:00 p.m as on and off rain.
