It is HOT in Seattle over 100 today

For many of you who live in other parts of the world, 100 degrees does not sound unusual, but for the Seattle area, it has never been this hot since they kept the statistics. Let me put it in perspective... our normal is 74 for this time of year for the high with our low temps at night at a comfortable, windows closed and the covers on as we sleep at night. So lets add 26 plus degrees to your normal we would put Phoenix at about 130 or more. Now because our normal is only 74 degrees, why would you have air conditioning in your home, which 90% of the homes do not have in this area. So when we went to bed last night at 11:30 and it was 85 degrees outside and warmer in the home covers were not to be found or needed.

This morning when I went to my air conditioned office at 9 a.m. it was 90 degrees with the expected high over 100 degrees for the day. Seattle has only had one day that reached 100 degrees in the last 50 years and they are predicting we will set a record of going over 100 degrees today. So if you want an investment tip... invest in anything that will have to do with selling air conditioning in homes, regardless of the price, in the Seattle area. If you want a good weather station that is right in Mill Creek, our home and 100 yds. from my office, go to www.centralmarketweather.com/MillCreek/ and you will see where I get my vast knowledge on the conditions of weather and the latest sales at the market. Tomorrow I think I will go and jump in a lake!!
