Nice win under the sun with low-mid 70s. A lot more enjoyable than yesterday

Consistent precip and a lack of dry heat matter a lot more than individual dumps of rain. Despite the big rainstorm of over an inch, the brown-out never skipped a beat, and it's looking way drier now than it did before it rained. I think the problem is that by the time the grass turns brown it's basically dead/in hibernation, and it would take a few weeks of cool wet weather to bloom again. Brown-outs have always been an annual phenomena sans the mid 1950's, 1962, and 1993, but to get them so early and so harsh year after year has been a uniquely modern phenomena. 2021 outright destroyed large sections of the backyard at my LC place

i think the writing is firmly on the wall. AI models trained on decades old summer weather patterns ain't gon' fare well in the big 26

I was thinking a baby junebug, but i'm no entymologist. Even if spiders do have tasty Meat on them

Any ID's on this bug? Sorry for the blurry photo and the nailbiting. I have a whole roster of therapists addressing the issue and ready to physically restrain me at any given moment

KSEA notched a nifty 91F yesterday. Hottest day of the year and the first burger of the season

Topped out at 89F midday before northerlies crashed the party around 2pm.

I'm surprised there isn't more geothermal heating in the PNW? I understand that the vast majority of western WA is overlaid by a fat layer of glacial sediment. But the PDX area sits on bedrock. There's a dormant cinder cone field within city limits. Ancient Columbia Basalts. The tallest volcano in the state within 50 miles. Maybe there is geothermal heating and I'm just ignorant to that?

today's hcs wasnt severe enough to impact high temps today. good move by nws seattle to not issue a warning

A few years back I had a health scare, my doc (naturopath quack) thought it might have been an infection (it wasn't). I took Azithromycin... That was horrible. I remember having high heart rates and skipped heartbeats. I quit that med before even seeing the doc again, it took around 3 months to fully recover. In the end I think my other issues were related to lifestyle. I'm taking care of myself better these days and I'm feeling normal.

We have a stark temperature gradient across Seattle. Mid 70s right along the water, low 80s in Ballard, and low 90s in Lake Shitty. Northerlies are playing their usual role in preventing an easy high five ninety-five

The heat hasn't collapsed our infrastucture... yet.....

Yep. Feels like any 90F day I've ever felt here

I miscounted. Ice age cancelled
