First Ever Heat Advisory for Seattle Area

Posted on May 27, 2005

Hot weather in the Seattle metropolitan area has boosted temperature 20+ degrees above average. Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 80s to low 90s in the normally cool climate that is perfect for coffee consumption. The Associated Press reported that Thursday's high temperature of 89 degrees at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport broke a 58-year-old record. The National Weather Service issued the first-ever heat advisory for the area:

Temperatures will climb into the upper 80s and lower 90s today in parts of the Everett-Seattle-Tacoma urban corridor...more than 20 degrees above normal for late may. Excessive physical activity in heat this intense can be dangerous. The elderly...very young... sick...and persons with heart conditions are most at risk.
