I'm partly glad that the recent overly hot weather has come to an end. 36 degrees is, I think, a little too warm for my frail UK constitution, and did I mention that the apartment doesn't have air conditioning? But it's been replaced with quite a lot of rain, alas, and the rain we're getting is quite spectacular; I've seen it coming down hard enough that it's bouncing a foot up when it hits.
Luckily, being British, I've been prepared, and always carry my umbrella with me. I've managed to avoid getting splashed by passing traffic, too, which is especially impressive considering how few sidewalks there are in this area. There's also some pretty impressive footage of the rain overloading the local drainage systems, to the point where they've had to stop people using the subway in Toronto (or possibly Montreal) due to localised flooding.
I think we've got another week or so of mixed weather forecast, before it warms up again. Hopefully this time it'll warm up slowly enough that I get a chance to get used to it.... I'm also looking forward to being able to take the bike into work, too - I think that that should take about half the time of the bus journey, but I don't feel like risking it while there's still a good chance I'll end up getting soaked on the way home....
