If it follows the usual pattern, In a week it will be high 90s-100s and start to get dry with hot dry winds that do not cool. Nights here do not cool off much. In recent years individual homes and businesses have cut back on over air conditioning. It is just too hot to try to attempt much. From spring rains, mosquitos and other creepy crawlers are rampant. Not my favorite time of year.

I dress for winter in the morning, spring or summer during the day, and for fall in the evening. It's a pain in the p-tootie. The worst thing that happens is I walk two blocks and then hit another microclime and find I'm dressed completely wrong! 8o (googly eyes) dakotacheryl on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave/page/2#post-1514577 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 14:09:36 +0000 dakotacheryl 1514577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Glorious sunshine today with a high around 80F. It's been very wet and coolish here. 45F when I got up this morning at 0500. What's been different for us is humidity. Usually runs around 40%, due to daily rain, it's been v high for us, even got to 91% a few days ago. I'm at 6000 ft elevation BTW. I do best with Spring and Fall temps. DonnaF, so sorry to read about the passing of your mother. Mine passed very suddenly in March and I'm still having emotional lows at times.  Angie on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave/page/2#post-1514568 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 13:53:33 +0000 Angie 1514568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It will probably be 35 today and for most of the weekend - that is UNHEARD of for Seattle. And the heat is not letting up. 3 months of this type of heat is my dream Summer weather. My dream is coming true. DonnaF, I am very sorry to hear about your Mum. My heartfelt condolences and wishing you strength. Much love to you.  Summer and Diane, I couldn't believe how muggy the UK is. It's so much crisper - and hotter - in Seattle.  Anne, Jaime, Maneera and Debs, YES. Your Summer temperatures are hectic. Seattleites would hate it - except for me.  HAH, Shedev. Usually, that would be me in Summer.  JAileen, your doggie is clever.  Crutcher, Windchime and others, I'm glad that your Summers are milder than usual. Enjoy.  Una, Peggy and Robin, enjoy the heat. Time to buy proper Summer clothes it seems.  Runcarla, you have great green thumbs.  Summer on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave/page/2#post-1514490 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 10:03:56 +0000 Summer 1514490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ VERY hot here (by UK standards) for the past week, and quite humid on several days.  Luckily, I live fairly near the coast, so there's usually a nice cooling breeze to compensate.  Anonymous on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave/page/2#post-1514486 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 08:28:03 +0000 Anonymous 1514486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are so lucky not having the humidity in Seattle Angie. We have just had a mini heat wave and as per usual in the UK, we had a lot of humidity. Typically over here our summers consist of two hot days followed by a thunderstorm! I think probably, Tuesday and Wednesday 'was' our summer for this year :P I can usually handle the heat, though I struggle if it's humid. catgirl on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave/page/2#post-1514447 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 04:18:53 +0000 catgirl 1514447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would love that! We had a bit of a heat wave here up to the 80s but now it's back to the usual low 60s and bleh. anne on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave/page/2#post-1514445 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 04:17:29 +0000 anne 1514445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, not what we would call a heatwave, especially since your night termperatures drop, but on the cusp between "high summer" and "pleasant summer" in my personal categorization! We aren't as cold as Deb and Lyn D in my part of Australia as  it is tending towards overcast, (it has been colder recently). Around 13-20. I am sitting here in my office desk wearing a coat though! Jaime on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave/page/2#post-1514405 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 03:03:59 +0000 Jaime 1514405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So happy for you! It is about the same temperature here now - but we don't consider that a heatwave but pleasant summer weather. Heatwave starts around 38! In this weather I am comfortable wearing long, lightweight jeans and closed shoes similar to your Holts. Oh just saw Deborah's comment and I second it! Carla on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave/page/2#post-1514404 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 03:03:51 +0000 Carla 1514404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Southern Ontario is alternating rainy weeks with sunny weeks, and I believe normal temps for this time of year. Where I live is greatly affected by the lake (Lake Ontario) so a hot humid day can end with a cool evening. I had the day off and spent most of it in the garden - sunny, and it could have been hot, but there was a good breeze. I wore cut-off jeans, a white tank with light weight hoody over (to cover arms), Coppertone Sport SPF 30, and my navy and cream hat - plus matching red garden gloves! Deadheaded the peonies, but salvaged a few late blooms, for a bouquet with roses from a bush that seems to want to take over the house. I don't know the name (it came with the house ) but I call it 'The Sleeping Beauty Rose'. Deborah on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave/page/2#post-1514398 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 02:57:44 +0000 Deborah 1514398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie, that sounds glorious!  As Lyn D said it's winter here and very cold where I am.  30 degrees is pretty comfortable for warm weather and I quite enjoy that.  Our heatwaves would consist of days 40 plus which tends to be very unpleasant DonnaF on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514392 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 02:42:37 +0000 DonnaF 1514392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My mom lived within commuting distance but inland from me so an entirely different climate.  She died two weeks ago, so we've been going out to her place to clean up.  It has effectively been a super heatwave, esp. since her a/c is not too effective so we are doing well if it gets down anywhere below 85 degrees inside and/or it is cooler than the outside.  I decided I won't go there when it is three digits outside like it was yesterday. Some part of me must have known she was about to pass away as I bought three tank tops last month and my fourth pair of sandals this year -- and I run cold.  I am more set than usual for hot weather but still anticipate being miserable for months as that house is like an oven with no cross breeze and we don't open it up for the cooler night air because we leave to go home. Maneera on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514386 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 02:24:24 +0000 Maneera 1514386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here in India, temperatures go above 40C very easily. I don't really mind the dry heat all that much, but July-August is the monsoon season so it's HOT & HUMID, which I completely hate. If it rains often, the weather gets better, but it hasn't been raining this week. Gosh, I hate it. You can have a shower 10 times a day but you'll still never feel fresh - and will be covered in sweat before you've had a chance to put on your clothes. Windchime on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514384 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 02:15:26 +0000 Windchime 1514384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A heatwave in Seattle? The weather is all mixed up this year. Here in Michigan, we've had beautiful temps ranging from 70°F to 80°F and an abundance of rain. It's fab weather for gardening and for sleeping. If it stayed like this all summer, I'd be thrilled. Normally, temps are 10° higher with very high humidity. JAileen on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514378 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 00:24:10 +0000 JAileen 1514378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was just outside and heard a big boom - thunder. It's dropped about 10 degrees and is really windy. My dogs came running. They don't like thunder. One of them really suffers in the heat. Here he is just now, resting on the air conditioning vent. crutcher on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514368 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 23:46:55 +0000 crutcher 1514368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Coool in the upper midwest...Would you believe I got up at 5 and turned on the furnace?...The house was damp and cold...Tonight it is going down to 50...I am so ready for summer like some of the YLFabers talk about hot and humid and wearing cotton and eating watermelon and going to the pool to cool down... I know it will come but it has been awfully slow this year... shedev on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514365 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 23:40:32 +0000 shedev 1514365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cool in Cleveland, I wore boots today =) Classically Casual on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514360 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 23:26:55 +0000 Classically Casual 1514360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another Seattlelite here. i'm living in sleeveless dresses and my newish cutoffs. (I'd saved them in the Finds, and when YLF notified me they'd gone on sale I pounced. Thank you!) We love avocados at Chez Classically Casual. As our weather seems to be changing for the warmer, I've been researching avocado trees, and have found a variety that may work. Lemons into lemonade, or avocados into guacamole...:) Robin on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514351 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:58:35 +0000 Robin 1514351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Right here in the middle of this Seattle heat wave and not liking it much at all. Or rather, I like the heat, but don't like that it refuses to let up - even 5-10 degrees cooler would be lovely. I have lots of summer tops, but almost nothing in the way of summer bottoms. Brilliant me decided to get rid of most of my shorts before moving here, thinking I'd only need a pair or two. I do have a casual cotton circle skirt that I love. Just need to keep it laundered so I can wear it when I can't - or don't want to - get away with cotton lounge wear. Have I mentioned here that my wardrobe needs serious help? (Only every time I've posted.) And yes, June was gorgeously, perfectly warm - not searingly hot.

Your heat came to us. Wooohoooo. Peri, Anchie and Avia, 30 feels a lot more manageable than 38 doesn't it. It's 33 right now and climbing.  Lisa, to me, those temperatures sound great - no? Not too hot. Awful news about the fires though.  Deb, THAT is hot. Extra ice-cream for you.  Aida, high five. Isn't our heatwave GLORIOUS. Now you know why I ordered an extra pair of Holts - mine are getting a workout. And these perforated oxfords are very breezy too.  Laurie on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514335 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:32:08 +0000 Laurie 1514335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's oddly cool out East this week - was in NYC on Tuesday and back to the DC area.  Very strange summer - lots of rain, cooler temps. Ok by me. I actually am wearing my skirted leggings this evening! AviaMariah on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514332 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:29:13 +0000 AviaMariah 1514332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm in the Eastern part of WA and we have been having exceptionally hot days; up to 106!  I personally love the heat as long as I have a cool place to sleep.  My biggest complaint in summer is the frigid a/c.  I work in an office with mostly men so you can imagine how freezing they prefer the office.  I am in a constant flux of putting on and removing layers and have actually been known to have my heater on under my desk while it's 100 degrees outside!! deb on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514327 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:22:07 +0000 deb 1514327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 110F and 106F the last two days. We are still climbing today but it is supposed to be much cooler tomorrow. anchie on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514324 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:15:25 +0000 anchie 1514324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Arround 30 here this week, which I still enjoy, but it looks like it will be 37 next week and that is too much. And I have to think of two outfits every day, I work in the arctic business casual office in the morning and taking afternoons off to go sightseeing with family that is visiting. Aida on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514320 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:12:37 +0000 Aida 1514320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Totally love our PNW weather this year It helps if you've got an "escape from the heat" plan, which I always try to have in mind as I overheat reeeeally easily. I'm very grateful that my work does NOT have AC so I can enjoy wearing my summer clothes! I have been getting a lot of weird looks for continuing to drink loads of hot tea though, heh. Only problem is that with the lower-than-usual humidity, my hands have been drying and cracking a bit. Trying to keep them loaded up with Nivea! (I <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-casual-hot-weather-looks" rel="nofollow">posted a big batch</a> of hot weather casual outfits at Lisa's request last week. Noticed I wasn't wearing my skirts/dresses as much, so am doing so this week. It's been interesting though -- my volume of "hot weather" clothing is on the smaller end since we don't usually get this warm, so I'm having to repeat elements a lot more than I normally would... and I'm not really minding! A pleasant surprise. My "active casual" capsule is getting a workout, for sure. And I am wearing sandals more than normal, which feels a bit weird.) Peri on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514319 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:11:40 +0000 Peri 1514319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your heat wave is our cool wave! Is that a phrase...cool wave? Anyway, just about the same temps here, which feels blessedly cool after a month in the high 90s and a few times hitting 100 (38). I'll take it. Greyscale on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514318 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:11:22 +0000 Greyscale 1514318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ San Francisco had a bit of a heat wave too, but the fog is back today. My parents are visiting from the East Coast and I warned them to bring a jacket, but for the first few days, they had no idea what I meant. Today our central heat came on again and they're getting an accurate picture of San Francisco summer.

At times you can even smell it here. It's made summer weather very odd indeed thus far.  Today I am wearing white jeans and a print handkerchief hem tunic - cool  and comfortable enough though sort of maternity looking I fear   I've stopped wearing a face full of makeup in this heat - it just doesn't feel right .  Angie on "Heatwave" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-is-having-a-heatwave#post-1514315 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:07:10 +0000 Angie 1514315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Excellent. I'll have one too.
