Our hot weather usually comes over the Cascade mountains from the high plains of eastern Washington. What happened this year is that the high plains heat of California wandered up into western Washington and combined with the heat the breezes were bringing over the Cascades to give us a week (maybe another as well after a 2 day break) of hellish dry Phoenix-like heat.

Today peaked at only 86.7 at 14:47:

Temperature: 86.7°F / 30.4°C | Humidity: 19% | Pressure: 29.38in / 994.8hPa (Falling) | Conditions: Clear | Wind Direction: NE | Wind Speed: 4.0mph / 6.4km/h

Tomorrow: Sunday - Sunny. Highs in the lower 80s near the water and mid 80s to lower 90s inland. Light wind becoming north near 10 mph in the afternoon.

Everett a few degrees cooler, we hope. I'm comfortable right now at 80.2° indoors.

Wow.

It's the weather of coastal California moving northward. Like Ontario's
long, cool, rainy spring -- the one that ended in July this year :) --
this is kinda on the "expected" list.
