It's still currently 93 degrees in Tacoma and 92 in Seattle. 7 o'clock at night.

I think it topped out today at 96 in Tacoma. Oooo, we're down a whole three degrees.

It was still like 80 last night around 11 o'clock. Hard to sleep when it stays that warm at night.

Can a mother fucker get a cool breeze???????

This is suppose to stay with us for another day or two.

I need to head to a lake...

Stay cool fellow Washingtonians!!! 8-)

    Yeah, I'd like to go back to a nice comfortable sunny 75-80 during the day. And 55-60 at night. That's our "norm" up here. We're not used to this heat for too long of a stretch.

    It's swelting up here in Victoria...record setting...and outside my house at 5pm it said 102 degrees! It's very hot down by the water, too. Thought my board was going to melt on the water last night...and we get this until at least Monday...but it's OK...we'll get through this!! No matter how warm the summer, there's a wintertime ahead... :lol:

    Well, the streetlights shine down on Blessing Avenue
    Lovers they walk by, holding hands two by two
    A breeze crosses the porch, bicycle spokes spin 'round
    My jackets on, I'm out the door
    And tonight I'm gonna burn this town down

    The girls in their summer clothes
    In the cool of the evening light
    The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by

    A kids rubber ball smacks
    Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
    Big bank clock chimes
    Off go the sleepy front porch lights
    Downtown the stores alight as the evening's underway
    Things been a little tight
    But I know their gonna turn my way

    And the girls in their summer clothes
    In the cool of the evening light
    The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by

    Frankie's diner, an old friend on the edge of town
    The neon sign spinning round
    Like a cross over the lost and found
    The fluorescent lights flick over Pop's Grill
    Shaniqua brings the coffee and asks "Fill?" and says "Penny for your thoughts now my boy, Bill"

    She went away, she cut me like a knife
    Hello beautiful thing, maybe you could save my life
    In just a glance, down here on magic street
    Loves a fool's dance
    And I ain't got much sense, but I still got my feet

    The girls in their summer clothes
    In the cool of the evening light
    The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by

    The girls in their summer clothes
    In the cool of the evening light
    The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by

    trick is not to take cold showers...take warm ones, and you dont get that responsive sweat thing happening...

    born and raised in Southern California...I know heat. ;)

    First off, what up FP?! Haven't seen you around here.

    Second, do people in Seattle not have A/C??? I realize you enjoy your perfect summers there, but damn. I mean I live in Texas but I still have a heater in my house.

    Laughs!!! No, most people around this region do not have air conditioners in their homes. Most of us do not own snow blowers either. :lol:

    That said, my office building I work in is very nicely air conditioned. My desk is a cool 72 degrees. 8-)

    try an ice tray in front of your fan...and get naked...as often as possible!

    Here is our forecast for the next 5 days here in the Puget Sound:

  • aNiMaLaNiMaL Posts: 7,117
    I hope the Pearl Jam/Ten Club warehouse has air conditioning. Otherwise, I bet it is pretty miserable in there.

    SEATTLE --

    Seattle has recorded the hottest temperature in its history.

    The National Weather Service recorded 102 degrees at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, breaking a previous record of 100 degrees, set most recently in 1994.

    Jay Albrecht with the weather service says that's the hottest it has been in Seattle since temperatures were first recorded in 1891. He says temperatures could keep climbing.

    BTW, it's just hit 104 in Tacoma.

    Not looking forward to leaving work in a 1/2 hour - but I'm gonna head on down to Pacific Place and catch a movie. Won't feel guilty staying inside on a sunny day...at all.

    My thermometer hit 106 when I was leaving Seattle at 5 today. This is freakish for sure - I've lived here all my life and this is the warmest summer I can recall...and the record books are backing my claim.

    Seattle breaks temp record as heat wave continues: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/art ... gD99ODPF81

    An average homeowner, and even many businesses in the Seattle area do not have air conditioning. A normal summer it's just not needed - for the two days in July it gets in the 90s we head to the lake or to a movie theater. But this is the worst that it's been...there were many stories on the radio of people standing in lines to purchase air conditioners and then going home and huddling one room, warnings telling people where the cooling stations are, to check on your elderly neighbors and outdoor pets, etc.

    I know that we have a couple people that are considering sleeping at work tonight - and we set up our tent last night. (Try it my Seattle friends - the tent was valhalla!) Our house was still around 90 degrees last night and not much cooler when I came back in this morning. Houses up here are built for rain - most houses around here are made with wood and bricks where most houses in hot areas like Phoenix & So Cali are made of adobe - much cooler.

    Oh - and we like to complain when it's not raining - bring back the rain! :mrgreen:
