Average temperature is 77-78 degrees at this time of year - The heat wave will be followed by two days around 80 degrees, but with very high Pacific Ocean humidity, so, it will feel the same or worse than near 90 degrees with low humidity - Less than 50% of Seattle homes and apartments are air conditioned, so unusual heat is always a BIG deal around here.

That month of summer goes by awfully quick, though. During the remainder of the nominally summer season, the problem is not generally raininess or excessive coolness but just persistant cloudiness. Moving from eastern WA I kind of felt I got cheated out of 2/3 of summer, but the one month surely was beautiful and pleasant.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL! What a mamsy pamsy article.
77 degrees, cobalt blue skies, with scattered cotton ball clouds in my corner of AZ!
Hey, Libtards. The lows where I live has been a steady, humid 83 for about a month. Cry me a river.
Do you get the Golf Channel?
Boeing has a Seniors Classic Tournament this weekend at one of the Cascade Mountain golf courses, Snoqualmie Ridge.
The course and the mountains are beautiful, in spite of very dry weather since March.
The Winners Purse is $330,000 (!), but there are only 7 names in the Top 30 that I recognize, which is really disappointing.
I am thinking that a lot of oldsters who had college golf scholarships but could not make the grade in the PGA have stayed in good shape and are really tearing up the Old Pros after age 50.
What a great way to retire - pull down enough money to pay your travel expenses, and tour the world and great golf courses in your 50s and 60s!
I live here because I like forests, mountains, chilly wet weather, and sunset at 4 PM.
My DNA misses Northern Europe, but not the politics of Northern Europe.
10,000 years ago Seattle was under a mile of ice.
No SUVs, no EV,s, no Petro/Hydrocarbon Anthro warming.
Where did that ice go?
Why’d it melt?
5 days of weather that has NEVER happened before? Horseshiiite.
Stay away from all of the “homeless camps”. With that kind of heat they’ll really be stinkin’.
“That would be nice this time of year in Alabama..”
I was thinking the same thing. We didn’t even notice if it was only 95 in Ala or Fla, TN, GA or Miss. (We moved a lot) I loved the South.}
I met a really nice couple from Savannah, GA on the Tubbs Hill trail in Coeur d’Alene, ID a couple days ago. They were SO happy to get out of the Georgia heat and spend a week on our cool Idaho lakes.
My dad told me that we’ve had temps over a hundred here in the PNW - so no big deal.
We’ve been getting a LOT of rain here in NH and cannot fathom why anyone would want to live in the Pacific Northwest.
I’m in NE Alabama. Today the static air tperature hit 94F, but the wet bulb (”feels like”) peaked at 122F. The perceived temp in Barstow, CA was about 20 deg. cooler...
