Daily Heat Records Fall Around Seattle, Olympia & Bellingham Lucas Combos
SEATTLE — The National Weather Service recorded new daily highs for Seattle, Bellingham and Olympia Tuesday, and three more days of "excessive heat" are still to come. Temperatures hit 94 degrees Tuesday afternoon at NWS Seattle's official monitoring site at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, besting the reigning July 26 temperature record of 92 degrees, set in 2018.
In the South Sound, Olympia hit 97 degrees, nudging past its 1998 daily record. Up north, Bellingham hit 90 degrees.
While temperatures are unlikely to moderate much before the weekend, the National Weather Service said Puget Sound's remaining records for the week appear safe, since the upcoming highs to beat exceed the current forecast. Forecasters expect most Puget Sound communities will break into the 90s every day through Friday, before finally knocking off a few degrees over the weekend.
Here are the temperature probabilities for Wednesday:
