Was it hot enough for you Monday? Vancouver as of 5 p.m. topped out at 95 degrees which easily surpassed the old record of 91 degrees in 1938. Vancouver’s weather records go back way over a century so this was quite an accomplishment for June.
Today we see highs drop back into the 80s in the warm category and stay there though Thursday and then another heat wave develops and this one will last for several days. We will see the hottest weather of the year with 100 degrees on at least one day, perhaps two or three. A prolonged heat wave folks.
That is of course several days out but most computer models agree it will be hot. That 95-degree high Monday had an easy start with the early morning low of only 62 degrees. Once the sun was up, the atmosphere heated quickly.
To escape the heat the coast will be foggy with afternoon clearing and highs in the low 60s if you want to make the journey. If we get some offshore winds this weekend with the hot weather even the coast could be sweltering near 90 degrees. We’ll see.
