It ain't s'posed to be this hot in Seattle...

[s1m0n]

Record temp of 33.8 Celsius (err, 92ish fahrenheit) here in Vancouver today, & as humid as living in Ron Jeremy's armpit.

The cat is NOT impressed.

translations by request....

Everyone knows that translations are best done out of the foreign language into one's native language. So I'm not sure you're qualified for Denny-to-English. I'd insist on seeing samples first.

Was 82F max down here today, with a light sea breeze. 63F now at 10 PM.

Folks in warmer climes might scoff at our weakness, but we're just not used to this. Only about 15% of houses/apartments around here have air conditioning; we're not supposed to need it. I'm seriously gonna look into what it would cost to add it to our house before next summer.

I mostly snigger, because I was wondering where
our heat had gone. It's been a lovely summer here,
unusually cool (for certain values of "cool").

and may the El Niño help to suppress yer hurricanes

SeaTac Airport (where the official weather readings are taken for the Seattle area) hit a new all-time record high yesterday: 103 F. (Old record was 100 F.) It was 105 F outside my house, and nearly that inside. Supposed to be a few degrees cooler today, but still a scorcher.

Yesterday, some yahoo threw a lit cigarette out of his/her car along I-5 and set off a brush fire. Plus, big thunderstorms have been building over the Cascade mountains every day, and lightning has set off several wildfires. We're havin' fun, you betcha!

Just heard about this last evening as the unseasonably cooling breeze caressed my mug of beer.

Seriously, I was astounded at the news, and the first thing I thought of was the humidity you coastside Washingtonians would have to be enduring along with the heat. Not a pleasant combination at all. Normally the temps and humidity in my locale should be approaching what youse guys are now putting up with, but they're not. Everything's gone topsy-turvy.

RH is about 40%....we're turning yellow

it is too weird

[Nanohedron]

And how are your pipes faring? I shudder to think.

[Denny]

I should look at 'em shouldn't I?

[Nanohedron]

Well, if that's all you're gonna do, ya might as well staple 'em to the wall.

[Denny]

I fix sponge...okay Joe?

I saw Seattle is having it's air show this weekend.


We just had the Dayton Air Show week before last. I've been to this thing when it was 100+ degrees and the National Guard was bringing the "camels" and setting up spray stations just so people didn't pass out.

This year it was overcast and less than 80 degrees.

What's it going to be out there this weekend?


This is so weird......

[Denny]

it should be more like normal
it broke a bit early we're down to 70 here right now

[Denny]

(the off sound flow has won out near the sound this evening the hot stuff is coming from E WA)

Blessedly cool at my house this morning. Aahhhhh...

I cooled off yesterday afternoon by heading into the mountains, hiking up to a snow-melt-fed alpine lake, and going for a swim. And I only donated about half of my blood to the mosquitoes and biting flies. <scratch, scratch, scratch>
