I can't believe how much rain we've had this year.
Seems like every day it's raining. Can't remember such a wet spring / summer.

Fucking Rain

It's not the rain so much as the humidity in the air (brought from the southerly winds picking up moisture from the Gulf of Mexico) that I hate -- today it feels like it's 40 degrees outside. I tend to prefer cooler, less humid summers, with temperatures in the low 20's and a nice breeze from the north.
The humidity is not from the Gulf of Mexico, it is from the Great Lakes, primarily Lake Ontario in the GTA. It is the same reason why the GTA winters are milder than other parts of Canada at the same latitude, the moderating effect of the Great Lakes.
Get ready for more rain. Monday, tuesday and wednesday will be overcast and rain.
It wont be sunny until thursday

The rain cleans the air, waters the plants, bathes the animals.
Supposed to be one of those rainy summers.
Had one some years ago. Remember being on the way to Taste of the Danforth and ended up stuck in Eaton Centre.
Boy did it pour that day.

The Great Lakes certainly contribute to the humidity in the GTA. However, since the GTA (specifically Toronto) sits on the north side of Lake Ontario, the winds coming from the south from the Gulf of Mexico, which is already humid to begin with, crosses through that body of water and picks up additional moisture, giving a vast humid airmass to essentially sit in this area. The intersection of the warm, moist airmass with a colder, drier airmass coming from Arctic is what causes occasionally severe thunderstorms.
Nothing like a summer rain falling down on you when you're having sex in the pool...or on the deck...or in the back of a pick up..!!
ssomething very erotic about feeling the rain on your naked body outside..
