Is it Summer again?
The calendar says October 7. This weekend is Thanksgiving - the harvest festival time in Canada. So why is the Cox Bay Beach in Tofino covered in surfers? (There are more in the water.)
This is a screen shot from Tofino today. (Click on the image to see a bigger version.) (See the Long Beach Lodge Resort website for the live webcam.)
I'm not there myself, and I can't surf (but would love to), but it's 15 degrees Celsius on the beach! For Tofino, that's balmy! It's cold in that water... but it's cold all year round. Dry suits are the clothing of choice at all times of the year when surfing Tofino.
I've just spent a warm sunny afternoon cleaning up the plants on my balcony, and I had to come back inside because it was too hot!
We missed having a lot of hot sunny days this summer, so are we having it now? This weather does not make sense.
