Warmest Day of 2020 Likely This Week

The warmest day of 2020 is likely this week. High temperatures of 80°+ are expected.

After some clouds and a cooler day on Friday, sun and heat is building this weekend into the upcoming week. 

Monday will likely be the warmest day of 2020. Here is the accurate 10-day weather.com forecast for Puyallup.



Highs of 88 and 87 to begin the week. And if you’re a sun fan, it’ll continue to be warm and sunny through the end of July!

If you’re wondering why I always use the “accurate” weather.com forecast, here’s why. It is proven to be the most accurate forecast. How did I find this out? 


Here it shows the forecast accuracy for the last month in Tacoma (nearest big city), and weather.com (The Weather Channel) is highly accurate, followed by Weather Underground (owned by TWC), and then AccuWeather at #3. Notice that the NWS is nearly 15% less accurate than the leader. Although most of the other forecasts depend on the NWS, the government funding to the organization can be improved.


If you’re looking for an accurate forecast, I recommend The Weather Channel app or weather.com. Also...did you know that weather.com provides all weather forecasts for Apple, Google, and Facebook? Pretty cool!



Back to the expected weather...here is a graphic from NWS Seattle showing the heat risk on Monday.


Heat safety is always a good reminder this time of year. One thing not mentioned on this graphic is sunscreen. When it’s this warm, always wear sunscreen! 

If you’re not a fan of heat and sun, you’ll have a bit of relief during the second half of the week, with slightly cooler temperatures and some clouds. However, warm temperatures will return by next weekend.

Also, we will have some clear nights this week that will be great for viewing the slowly fading Comet Neowise!
