The heat is still on. The temperatures went up quickly on Wednesday, with Vancouver reporting 90 degrees at 1 p.m. Too hot for this guy. As of my writing Wednesday, it was 97 degrees here in town.
I expect another hot one today, with highs in the mid-90s. We will have more clouds streaming up from California, and as I mentioned the other day, a spotty thunderstorm or sprinkles are possible. If the clouds are thick enough today, it could hold us down a few degrees cooler. However, the humidity will be through the roof. A muggy day.
The good news will be cooler temperatures Friday through Monday. Friday and Saturday’s highs will be in the 80s as cooler ocean air penetrates the area. Looking ahead, though, it appears likely that we’ll have another heat wave by midweek next week, with highs shooting well into the 90s and maybe 100 degrees. We are not finished with the hot weather, folks.
Wednesday was day 20 with a high of 90 degrees or higher. I’m sure we will add many more days before summer officially ends. Are you keeping up with the watering? Between that and electric bills if you have AC, it is going to be a spendy month due to the hot weather.
