I had to take cover under a bridge. Was trying to beat it home but had some really brutal wind gusts and what felt like hail.

Got caught up in today's weather mayhem on HWY 6 Guelph. From good summer weather to blinding rain and 10 meters visibility in about 10 minutes! Cars started parking on the side of the road with blinkers on.
Took the first exit - Laird road and thought that if the lightening didn't hit me, the wind will blow me over the bridge!
Thanks 'Auto Reflections Car Care', I am the motorcyclist who was in one of your bays. Even after 20 minutes, water from my clothes was still dripping
Finally, made back to home at Oakville, via 20 side road and 15 side road.
Tarmac was slippery and plenty of downed branches and leaves. Whew. All in the day's ride.

Severe storm threat in Ontario as front will eliminate the sweltering heat - The Weather Network
A cold front sweeping through southern Ontario Monday will finally wipe out the heat and humidity, but will also bring the chance for severe storms in the afternoon and evening in parts of the region.

A rider an I rode through the July 19th storm for a few hours, lightening all around us and twisty muddy gravel backroads, then the hwy, just before I emptied the gallon of water in my boots, coming down a lot of hydro lines were out and places closed with no electricity, branches fallen, high winds. In hindsight we should have stopped, though all weather apps showed rain all day long, so figured whatever, I threw the googles on to see something atleast, some tunes, and thankfully it was warm outside because non of my waterproof gear stayed waterproof through that for even 5 mins. We could barely see each other riding, and at some points were mistaking trees for hilly roads ?
Speak for yourself, rain in Vaughn

Yeah it's raining now in Scarborough....another weather app fail. The weatherCAN app from the Gov was correct though... ?

Looks to be a good night for meteor watching. Bit colder and looks to be clear.
globalnews.ca
we timed it just right as even tho the peak was 3 am the clear sky has gone and the moon is up ....it got down to 11 ..
But lots of meteors and a few fireballs and worth the effort. We arrived just after 12. and stayed for an hour or so.

Get your wishes ready, because the Perseids offer the best chance to see a shooting star in 2020.

Was up at Lake Temagami camping from Wednesday to Friday. The Wednesday night sky was absolutely amazing. Never seen anything quite like it before

Temagami. Mmmmm. My brother and i were camping on Lake Kokoko many years ago in the spring when Mars was quite visible and there was zero light pollution. The calm lake at midnight glowed red.Was up at Lake Temagami camping from Wednesday to Friday. The Wednesday night sky was absolutely amazing. Never seen anything quite like it before.
