I wouldn't think that people could work building or doing any work in non-airconditioned buildings without getting sick. Your situation must have really been a nightmare ...Was the company ultimately successful? Hope so! 93 degrees at Sea-Tac by 10 a.m. The mercury has begun its march toward record territory, with the temperature at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport hitting 93 degrees by 10 a.m. By Jack Broom Seattle Times staff reporter seattletimes.nwsource.com The mercury has begun its march toward record territory, with the temperature at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport hitting 93 degrees by 10 a.m. "It's headed up pretty fast," said Jay Albrecht, National Weather Service meteorologist. "This is exceptionally unusual." The Weather Service was still predicting the high for the day could be 100 degrees — matching a record set on July 16, 1941 and matched on July 20, 1994. Seattle's record for July 29 is 95, set in 1971. Today's high is likely to occur between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., Albrecht said. Whether Sea-Tac cracks the 100-degree mark as the day progresses could depend on the direction of winds flowing toward the ridge of land where the airport is located, Albrecht said. This morning, temperatures rose rapidly as winds came from the northeast, but it's possible winds could shift and come from the northwest, slowing the rise in temperature. Sea-Tac's 93 degree temperature at 10 a.m. topped typically toasty cities east of the Cascades, including Spokane (76), Walla Walla (80), Yakima (84), and Wenatchee (83). Preliminary data indicates that the low overnight temperature at Sea-Tac, 71, makes it the first time in the 64 years that records have been kept there that the temperature did not drop below 70 degrees overnight. seattletimes.nwsource.com
