Seattle is back in a hot stretch again. The forecast highs for Kent are 36 today and 37 tomorrow, although at my house it usually gets a bit warmer than the forecasts. After that, a slow cooling down to 24 with possible rain on Monday.

[Randi]

We have a heat advisory today.
The weather site currently says 89 and mostly sunny.
Tonight it is supposed to rain and get cooler.

[ggordon]

Now on top of the heat, smoke from the wildfires has arrived. The forecast is for unhealthy air today and tomorrow. It's currently rated moderate, but I am already noticing a little difficulty breathing. Time to break out the N-100 masks and attach filters to the fans. We are still fortunate to be far better off than much of western North America.

[Randi]

Today was hot!
Now we're having a thunderstorm, which is not great, but it has cooled things off nicely.

I don't know if you will be envious or sympathetic but high here is 18 and showery. The next few days are dryer but 17/18 and the occasional night into single figures.

NOAA: July was hottest month on record
Pittsburgh weather set no new highs

...
The Pittsburgh area didn’t go along with the trend.

Although the globe was bringing in the heat last month, Pittsburgh was fairly consistent with previous years’ averages. The average temperature here was 72.5 degrees, about 0.6 degrees lower than usual, but 10 degrees above the global average.

According to Max Gawryla, a meteorologist with AccuWeather, based in State College, the trends “absolutely” coincide with Pittsburgh’s love for rain.

“It looks like the average normal rainfall that Pittsburgh gets in July is around 3 inches. This past July we saw just over 4.25. When you get those rainier patterns, they end up typically coming with lower pressure in the atmosphere, cloudier skies — all of these things sort of contribute to cooler temperatures than you’d otherwise see,” he said.

Pittsburgh’s July saw no record-breaking high temperature days, nor any days sneaking into the 90s. Mr. Gawryla said we came close but couldn’t quite crack that level.

The total precipitation shown is 3 mm, whereas the daily amounts show only 2 mm. That's because there are four days with amounts of 0.1, 0.1, 0.1 and 0.3 mm. I show amounts only to the nearest mm, which is why there is a discrepancy.

Finally... a thunderstorm and cooler!
We have been very lucky here.
