The forecast for Western Washington says at least four days in the 90 degrees Fahrenheit range, and we could even be setting some records this week. The official all-time high for Seattle is 100 degrees F, and some weather forecasters predict that the temperature may be as high as 104 degrees F at Sea-Tac International Airport, the official weather gauge location for the Seattle area, on Wednesday of this week.
Yesterday, I was driving home when I saw a few menacing clouds that looked like thunder clouds. They were towards the east, so I reasoned there might be some kind of thunderstorm there. Today, I haven’t seen a cloud in the sky. It’s 85 degrees in my house, 95 outside, and not many people here have air conditioning. At least I have a fan.
So for all of you feeling this heat, drink plenty of water and don’t move around too much unless you have to. Stay cool!
