Washington State is About to be HOT this Summer.
Seems like every year, at least in Washington State, we anticipate a hot summer.
Are we very far off to prepare for that this summer?
"A summer that's maybe a degree or two on the warm side, in the mean (average), nothing extreme," - Washington State Climatologist Nick Bond (Source)
A Slightly warmer summer that average huh. What does that look like?
While we may have "warmer than normal" temperatures, it doesn't seem to be tipped any sort of heat scale.
"Our snowpack is definitely lower than normal. With the warm weather on our way, too, there's going to be kind of an early start to the landscape drying out. But on the other hand, maybe not an extreme summer in any way. ... What we have to wait and see about is the windstorms that are always accompanying really big (wild)fires. We can't forecast those ahead of time." Source
What can we do to stay cool?
Well, I am so glad you asked!
