Well, it was 36.1 C in Seattle yesterday... with an inversion/stagnant
air, smog alert....I survived in my condo without AC (and due toits
configuration I don't get a cross-breeze). Our annual neighborhood
parade was yesterday as well (they go on all summer in different
neighborhoods - it's a Seattle thing leading up to the hydroplane
races in a few weeks) , and I didn't see anyone falling down with heat
exhaustion - not the flag bearers or the marching bands or the drill
teams, or the folks on the floats... though they did have people
misting them with water from spray bottles...

Today it is currently about 29C, but predicted to get to 33C..humidity
about 44% now ... seemed a bit muggier yesterday. I'm looking at the
trees across the street; still very little breeze out there...
