Too Hot

Seattle Metropolitan Area

Excessive heat warning in effect until 11 pm pdt Monday. Air stagnation advisory in effect until 11 pm pdt Monday.

Weather Summary: A lttle cooler today, but highs will still be a good 10 to 12 degrees warmer than average. Tuesday looks even cooler with highs in the 70s to low 80s and overnight lows in the 50s (finally some good sleeping weather). However, we start getting hot again by Wednesday... We won't see any real relief until Friday with a strong push of cooler marine air. Highs this weekend should only be in the mid 70s!


Ok...so it has been way too hot here. Yes, I know it is also hot in Michigan, but you have air conditioning! I know an amazing concept! Everyone here tells us this is way hotter than usual, but since it was like this a few weeks ago also, I am starting to wonder. Anyway, as I sit here, I am watching the indoor temperature along with the outdoor temperature rise. It is currently 76 outside and an amazing 80 inside. We have three fans going, but they just seem to be blowing hot air around. Any ideas?


We have been allowing Samuel to run around in his diaper pretty much everywhere. The other day we pulled out the hose then on Saturday hooked up a sprinkler for him. He was also invited over to the neighbors kiddie pool. He loved it, but seconds after drying off he was sweating again. The other day I took him down to Green Lake to play in the kiddie pool. He loved it. He was pretty amazed with all the big kids who were running and laying down. He tried both and ended up with a mouth full of water each time. It didn't seem to bother him at all though, he got up and tried again. Today we are going to the YMCA with friends. We can work out and let the kids play in the air conditioning. It may end up being a four or five hour workout if the temperature keeps climbing!
