Its a well know fact that inter-hour temps are not always accurate and sometimes not reflected in the daily high or low.    You argue all you want but that is the reality.    I also know that the daily high or low can be higher or lower than the hourly readings.    So it goes both ways and I don't get it either.     

The interhour temps are rounded to the nearest degree Celsius, not Fahrenheit. Look on Mesowest and it’s crystal clear.

Thunderstorms always put me in a good mood. One thing I really enjoy about summer that makes it all worth it.

[BLI snowman]

I for one was very concerned about the threat of significant rain and day long low clouds every day this month.

Sure glad we dodged that bullet!!!111!1

Hail missed me, but it was legit. At least 50mph with constant lightning.

Best part is it knocked temps down 20°F.

Its hot as sh*t on my deck and in my yard... too hot for my liking.

Probably perfect at Lake Sammamish with 85°F water temps though. The Caribbean of Washington!

There is an additional aspect to his aggressive dynamic with me, which is that I live in a small <1,500 square-foot home in one of the cheaper communities in North Bend and he lives in a mansion in a gated community. He keeps "inviting" me over to measure his air temperatures (which is weird enough), knowing full well I couldn't get access to his gated neighborhood if I wanted to. 

OMG... I am sorry if you ever thought that.  I would gladly give you the code if you wanted it.    Its not a big deal... I swear half the area knows the code and cuts through here anyways.   I hate those gates with a passion.   They serve no purpose.

LR EPS has been increasing the marine influence in recent runs. Makes more sense IMO given the 500mb pattern.

Dude.. you need help. Let the man make his observations without you jumping all over his back. Back off. 

This is what I'm referring to when I say you get away with it these days because you can. Fred wouldn't be able to put up with this crap.

75 degree water temp.   And I can tell you the water was very warm on Saturday when we were out there.   Still refreshing but you don't even feel cold when you come out. 

[Deweydog]

Kelso stuck at 80 for the last three HOURLY readings.

It’s coming!

You should jump the fence and yell at the house “hey, what gives you the right?!”

I just won't quote him any more if that is the problem.   I post observations from North Bend and the stations up here most every day anyways.  His temp will be significantly colder than the rest of this area on most days.   Just the way it is being deep in the forest.

What is the minimum income requirement to access Lake Sandwich? $25K a month? Or week? Just wondering.

I wish I had a fellow Hockinsonian to spar with here. Make the place ENTIRELY unreadable.

Unlike Lake Washington which is literally the Bering Sea, with its propensity for vulgar marine push CATASTROPHES.

$7 launch fee.  

Free otherwise.   Except Discovery Pass is required to park at the beach at the state park.

Lake Washington water temp is 70.   It's always colder than Sammamish and it's definitely noticeable if you spend time on both lakes.

Ted Bundy used to like to go there.

Probably no coincidence that Tim does, as well.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like NW winds are approaching SLE now. Wish I was in Florence right now. Sunny 64 and winds gusting from the NW at 44mph.

One of our local lakes finally lifted its e coli advisory this week!

Tacoma native!    Amazingly... in that in that Netflix documentary they have lots of footage from that fateful day (7/14/74).  Someone was filming a festival at the state park before it even happened and then filmed part of the police search.   It was fascinating to see what it looked like back then... in many ways it has not changed much.

That lake has to be the shittiest in the PNW.

Yeah like others have mentioned, hopefully we are close to running out the clock on this insanely hot and dry season we have had! Must hurry up and get back to 46 degree dark dank drizzle for the next 10 months since sun and warmth around here lasts FOREVER!!! 

Happy Tuesday! Weenie and downvote away! After the 4hr dentist appointment this morning everything else pales in comparison today! 

Nothing good ever happens in a 4 hour dentist appointment....you have my sympathies....

Jesus christ I was only gone for like 2 hours.

Actually one of the few Western WA state parks that I have yet to set foot in.

You need to let us know when you leave so we pause the conversation!

Lol I kinda skimmed through the discussion earlier lots of downvotes and temp reading disagreements? Some stuff about your 1%er lifestyle?

One more quote reply by Tim and @1000'NorthBend will be hiring Dewey for a restraining order.

Thinking we may have maxed out at 83 again today. Looks like the winds have shifted out of the SW now…82 here.

I learned the other week that I'll be getting my Wisdom teeth removed. That will be fun!

Horrible experience.   Make sure its really necessary.   I read that they push it by default and its not always needed.
