Seattle Heat Wave
Seattle is hot... UNUSUALLY hot this year. In fact, it's not really the heat that's really making it this unbearable. The humidity level is at 46%, which is incredibly high for a city that is usually at 0 %. We also have a week long Excessive Heat Warning and Air Stagnation Advisory. It honestly feels like Japan... Actually, it's hotter than Japan right now. 3 out of 4 of the major weather reporters are predicting that we'll break 100 F today (~37 C+). Japan will only reach around 30 C with 86% humidity according to weather.com. Considering that Seattle has never reached above 100 F in 115 years, I say it's a big deal.
