April is looking promising. It was 86F yesterday in Western WA. Some places hit 90+ - Record high. Today and tomorrow look to be 80+ here too. First time Seattle will have three days of 80+ weather in April since records began.
Cliff Mass thinks it'll be better than last summer though:

- mikestew 10y agoIt's not just record highs that are breaking the records by a few degrees, it's that the records are being broken by 10F. It's one thing to have a warm snap, quite another to take it to a whole new level. I mean, 80s is something SEA might see for a few days in July. Well, used to be, anyway. Yeah, yeah, weather!=climate; sit down, Captain Pedantic, I'm making a point here. As one who has walked this earth for over 50 years, I've observed that records of course are broken fairly regularly, but not with the frequency I see recently. Seems like every week I wake up to a new record, whether it's monthly, seasonal, or just today. It's a trend? Is climate change real? Dunno, not a climate scientist. But it sure seems like things are getting warmer, not just today, but generally.
