Tue, 7:33: Never in my life did I think a forecast high of 90° would come as a relief. It's like the fucking Twilight Zone over here. At least it got down to 64° this morning. My bike ride in to work was glorious.
Tue, 8:32: Seattle weather records broken over the past four days:
Saturday, June 26: all-time high temperature for June, 102°; daily record high low for this date of 69°.
Sunday, June 27: all-time high for any day in history, 104° (beating 103°, set on July 27, 2009); all-time record high low of 73° (beating 72°, set on July 27, 2009); first time in recorded history highs 100°+ two days in a row.
Monday, June 28: again, all-time high for any day in history, 108° (beating 104°, set one day before); first time in recorded history highs 100°+ three days in a row, after only three separate days reaching that high in more than a century previous to this event.
Tuesday, June 29: record drop in temperature in the space of about 10 hours, a 46° spread between 6:00 last night and about 4:00 this morning, thanks to the sweet relief of a marine push. Forecast high today is 90° but that one still falls short of the record—I think we broke enough of them anyway.
Side note: Friday, June 25 actually was the start of this heat wave, with a high of 87°, about 10° above normal, but still far short of that date's record high of 98°—what until Sunday had been Seattle's all-time record high in June, set in 1925.
Thu, 16:16: This is new. Much appreciated, although I’d much rather have a gender neutral bathroom setup—but, we do the best we can with what we have to work with. https://t.co/ZzQMIcqpym
