Our warmest temperatures in over a year, with highs above 90 degrees, are likely to start next week.
Due to this, NWS Seattle has issued a Heat Advisory from 9 AM-8 PM on Monday, July 27th. There’s a copy of the alert below.
The advisory is in effect for the more heat-prone areas of Western Washington, such as the western sections of Lewis, Thurston, and Pierce Counties. The advisory suggests highs of 91-96 degrees in these areas. If you live near these areas, but outside of the advisory area (Federal Way, Bonney Lake, Auburn, Graham), it will still be hot, with highs near the same of those in the advisory area.
Let’s take a look at the weather.com forecast for Puyallup.
Yes...that does say 97 degrees. I am sweating already!! Remember to subtract a couple degrees from these temperatures if you live outside the valley.
Remember, Monday isn’t the only hot day, it’s only 1 of 5 possible days above 85 degrees. While Monday will be hottest, Sunday will be at or near 90 degrees, and Tuesday & Wednesday will be in the upper 80s.
These will be our warmest temperatures since last July, so be sure to stay safe in the heat and take necessary precautions!
