We just got home from a visit with my friend not far from here. We stayed over her place on Friday and today we went out to the event called Renewal Energy Fair which they showcase renewable energy stuff like solar power, and so on...it was lot of fun.
On Friday, Seattle broke the record high of 94 degrees that was set back in July 21, 1994, I think. It reached a high of 97 degrees, the hottest heat wave in the Northwest since 1998 which last time reached 97 degrees on July 28, 1994.
The heat wave here was caused by the thermal though which brings the dry winds from East WA state, but the wind heated up as it squeezed thru the mountain passes and it caused Western WA state to heat up, also...that the stream of heat coming from desert southwest (South Calif, Arizona, etc) which kicked up the heat with a little more oomph, so it was hotter and rarer than it usually is. It did hit 100 degrees in Olympia, too!
Today, it was cooler...BUT on a humid side, that was caused by the same stream of heat which brought in monsoonal moisture that brought in cloudy and muggy weather...it did feel HUMID! I was sweating like a pig! It reached high of 90 or so with 40-50 percent humidity and 60 dewpoint. We went swimming after the renewal energy fair. We brought our friend's paddle boat to the small lake and had lot of fun for hours and soaked in the cool water, it was a fun weekend!
We chatted and paddled on the boat a lot.
