Seattle temps to hit 85 this week

Seattle is bracing for a heat wave this week, with temperatures projected to reach the mid-80s, and some areas could see highs of 90 degrees. The National Weather Service has indicated that this weather pattern will be particularly pronounced in areas away from the water. Residents should prepare for the impacts of the heat, which may affect outdoor gatherings and local businesses that thrive during warmer weather. Health officials may issue advisories to protect vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. The increase in temperatures highlights ongoing discussions about climate change and its effects on regional weather patterns.

Historical data has shown that Seattle's summer temperatures have been rising over the past few decades. This trend raises concerns about public health and safety during extreme weather events. Local agencies are expected to monitor conditions closely and provide updates as necessary.
