You know its hot when...

I too grew up in Vancouver and they never made us go outside for recess in the rain. In fact we loved the rainy days because then we got to stay inside and play boardgames instead.

Of course, it really didn't rain that often. There was a heavy mist or light drizzle a lot but that's not really rain (if you can be outside for 20 minutes and it hasn't soaked through your coat, then it isn't raining so far as I'm concerned).
