Have seen a couple small peeks of mount rainier inbetween the clouds to the east here but don’t think it’ll fully breakout this evening. Just sitting on the beach watching the porpoises out in the water fishing.

When I thought we wouldn't get to 100F this year for June it looks like we might for the last week of the month. 🤮

The average maximum temperature recorded in the month of June is 99F in Medford so I guess not hitting 100F would be almost below average. I also didn't realize there are only 5 years on record (since 1911) that Medford hasn't hit 100F. I'm always amazed how different a climate it is down there.

Yeah, just was hoping for not hitting it since last year was brutal and has been nice but still better though.

Just did some work in the backyard getting things ready for the summer. Cannot express in words how nice it feels outside.

Get your swimming pool ready? 😜  Beautiful day, glad I was able to have it off due to the holiday. Going to be the start of our first long stretch of sunny and warm weather this year.

Surprisingly it's only hit 71 today at PDX. Then again they might have cleared out later than the west metro. Those forecasted temps seem a bit higher than other places, but I don't know.

Should feel extra hot since you've been accustomed to cool. I hope {Insert name of person who loved this spring} will be OK.

Hoping we can stay below 90 up here.    I want to fully enjoy the weekend and it becomes a little less enjoyable above 90.    We will be on the water both days but even on the water it gets a little uncomfortable above 90.

Lake Sammamish water temp is back down to 65 after peaking at 68 before this last trough.    But the warm up should be rapid and impressive after Wednesday.   I bet the water temp is in the mid to maybe upper 70s one week from today and should stay there until September.

Your weather thresholds need some tweaking, adapt, live in the moment, all that good stuff.

Yep... have to make the best of any situation.   But if I had my choice it would stay below 90 this weekend.

I can almost picture you saying, "alright everyone, temp is now 91°, wrap it up, we gotta go home, too hot to be out here on the lake, let's go"!  😁

Well you go ahead and think that.   We were out there when it was 102 degrees on 6/26 last year.   But the next 2 days were just too hot to be anywhere in the sun.   Slowly diminishing returns once it gets above 85.   Then rapidly diminishing above 95.     Above 100... it might as well be raining.   You can't enjoy being outside anyways and that would be better for the environment.

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Do you happen to know of a site where Lake WA Temps are tracked? Interested in the Southern end and would be awesome to see historical data as well.

This spring and early part of summer has been the best for our environment.

It was forecasted to hit 72F degrees here today, but it topped out at 65F.  

I see the dreams of some are coming true with some hot temps scheduled later this week and plenty of sunshine for them.  For those who want cooler weather, it is forecasted to be 81F here, but who knows if it will actually reach that.  We tend to be several degrees cooler than the forecast.  So stop on by, we got a beach to be cool!

Actually not if you want to get technical.   At least not in western WA.  Our trees don't need unusually cold, wet, and cloudy weather to thrive.  They are here based on climo and thrive in climo weather.   Everything exploded when it finally turned warm and humid in early June.   But I know you just want to take the opposite position to generate some fun for yourself.    Our trees would be even happier if it was 40 degrees for the entire warm season and the sun never came out and it rained every day.   Imagine how happy they would be.  👍

It says 66 on this site... which sounds about right if Lake Sammamish is at 65.   Lake Tapps is shallow and warms quickly... but is glacial fed so it does not get as warm as Sammamish.   Tapps has always seemed warm we have been there.

Thanks! This is the only site I'm familiar with. I was asking about lake washington (south of 90), which still shows 58° 🥶. Hoping that jumps up quickly; been way too cold to jump in thus far.

I updated my post.   Did not realize Tapps was glacial fed.   Shallow definitely helps though.

Incredibly wet day in North Central Montana today. Cut Bank has seen 2.57" of rainfall today which is their second highest single day rainfall total on record and it's still raining. Only trailing June 7th 1991 with 2.80". Keep in mind this area only averages ~10" of precip yearly.

Pretty crazy that Southern Montana got hit with all the rain and rapid melt last week and now even the northern areas see record rainfall today. "Only" 0.71 of rainfall here over the last 24hrs but it's still raining.
