now that the 30C contest is over after it hit 30C around 2pm today are you going to do another for 35C and 40C?

It will be the time that it hits 30 degrees. I can get that down to within a minute.

Will the winning guess be from the highest tempture of the day time or will you be able to look back at what time it hit 30 degrees?

SO close! :)

The contest goes by the readings on this website which are from the station here in town.

You’re right that the Airport is usually a degree or two cooler.

mind u the “official” temp at the airport was much less but my car’s temp showed 30C at 5 oclock when i left work :P

is the contest going by the official airport temperature from Environment Canada or from the readings at the station located in town?

Ok so close to 30C today… 29.44C at 15:35… i had predicted 30 at 1pm..but looks like definitely June 2nd :P

Yep… topped out at 29.44C! So close!

I think you’re right… the slight breeze from the North kept the air moving and cooled it off just enough.

Tomorrow certainly looks like the day though.

I have 31.3 at the moment but I think you have more breeze there Chris.

Chris (admin) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 06:05:24 +0000

Wow, I only got up to 28.22 at 14:55PM.

Given the forecast though, I will be surprised if both of us don’t hit 30C tomorrow.

Arlene, Eve, and Gemini… you guys are definitely looking like good chances to win…

It’s going to go right down to the wire!

I topped out at 29.8 at 16:20 this afternoon. Was a good breeze going too.
