TT-SEA Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 You people are insane. Lol. That’s what I’d do for a cold trough or storm system. Not a stupid heat wave. You just cannot accept that our weather is different. This "heat wave" will probably result in mid 70s by the water where is he camping with low humidity and chilly nights. That will be extremely pleasant for camping and the best weather of the year so far. That is enjoyable weather by your standards as well and better than camping in damp, cold weather. But you hone in on the term "heat wave" as we use the term... and immediately change the meaning to your most horrific weather with temps in the upper 90s and dewpoints in the 80s. This makes no sense and sounds very silly to people in the PNW.

TT-SEA Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I haven’t been camping in years. But when I did I preferred warm sunny weather. . The tent cools off instantly in the evenings anyways. It will probably be in the upper 90s with suffocating humidity along the shores of the 50-degree Puget Sound for TacomaWaWx this weekend... completely insane that someone would want to be camping in that nightmarish weather. Who camps in a heat wave? Phil is so right. We have the exact same climate as DC.
