Heat Wave

We have had ten days in a row of above normal temperatures. This includes six days at 90 or warmer along with the all time record at Sea-Tac last Wednesday of 103.

The bright spot to the heat wave has to be the sunsets. I took this picture last week but with the smoke from recent fires on the Olympic Peninsula the sunsets have continued to impress.




This picture is from the hottest day every recorded at Sea-Tac. I was working that day and it was amazing to walk out from the air conditioned weather center on to the roof garden and feel the contrast. It was like a whole different world.



At the same time we had thunderstorms building over the Cascades as seen from the roof garden looking over Dexter Avenue.

  1. Hey Chris,

    I have a quick question for you regarding upcoming weather in SanFrancisco and the temperature of the water under the golden gate bridge. Thought you might have that information more readily accessible than my attempts at google searches. I was looking for an email address on King5, but no luck. Thought this might be my next best option.
    I'm swimming a race on Saturday at 8:30am where you "escape Alcatrez". Curious to see what the temps will look like both in the water and out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My email is katieebrown@hotmail.com.

    Thanks.
    Katie

  2. The heat wave in Seattle seriously was like night and day going from air conditioning to the outdoors. I just keep in mind how our winters are and appreciate the warmth now.
