July 30, 2009Way, Way Too HotIt hit 103 degrees in Seattle yesterday--smashing all previous heat records--and my apartment continues to double as a sauna, so I'll hope to get some new posts up when things are a bit cooler in the morning (since it's about 85 in my apartment as I write this). Today promises to be in the high 90s. It amuses me that in the seven years I've lived in Seattle I have witnessed the city's hottest day ever, its hottest night ever, the 24 hour period with the most rain, the month with the most rain ever (17 inches or so) and, this past winter, some of the most intense snows this city has seen. Hopefully, all this record setting heat goes away soon and life can get back to normal. Posted by Philip Dawdy at July 30, 2009 12:03 AM

Amen. I've lived up here six years now, and I swear the most common statement about the weather is "it's not usually like this." And you forgot the massive windstorm that knocked out power for everybody a couple of winters ago... Lived here for 20 yrs, nothing like this ever. One or 2 summers of 101 degrees back in 1990. Then there's the artic blast(blizzard) dec '90 that dumped several feet of snow, shutting down everything suddenly, and the Thanksgiving of '90 rain/power outage and the I-90 floating bridge SANK. Let's hope winter doesnt follow up this hot summer with that kind of winter again! That is global warming for you. The temperature extremes and other extreme events are going to become more frequent. So, be ready for more records. Posted by: TSC at July 31, 2009 03:15 AMYes, welcome to climate change. But it's only a matter of time before Big Pharma says they have a pill for that too!
