Blistering weather continuing on Sunday in Seattle
The Brief Seattle temperatures will reach the upper 80s on Sunday, with some areas hitting the low 90s, prompting a Heat Advisory. Cooling centers are available, and residents are advised to stay hydrated and avoid heat-related risks. Relief from the heat is expected by mid-week, with temperatures cooling significantly by Tuesday or Wednesday. SEATTLE - Temperatures will spike to the upper 80s this afternoon in Seattle. Some communities could wind up in the low 90s (e.g. the South Sound and the Cascade valleys like North Bend). It could be another challenging day for people without air-conditioning. There are many cooling centers that are opening around the region, including libraries. Head here for more: List of local cooling centers What's next Tomorrow, temperatures cool to a mild range along the North Sound, Salish Sea, Strait and the coast. Temperatures also fall below 90 for the South Sound and many other backyards. Seattle and Tacoma could hold onto the mid 80s. While it'll be another uncomfortable day, the heat won't be as intense as today. The National Weather Service has posted a Heat Advisory from 10 a.m. Sunday to 10 p.m. Monday for many places across the I-5 corridor. There is a medium risk of heat-related illnesses. Here are important safety reminders in the blistering heat: Stay hydrated and slather on the sunscreen. Don't walk your dogs in the hottest hours of the day. Try to do a walk in the evening or morning when the pavement isn't too hot for their paws. Never leave people or pets in a car in this type of weather. It could easily be deadly. If you're cooling off along the water, remember to always wear a life vest. Water temperatures remain cold year-round in Western Washington. Cold water shock is a real threat. Even strong swimmers can succumb. Check on the beloved seniors in your life to make sure they're finding ways to stay cool. If you don't have A/C at home, consider heading into a building with A/C at times in the coming days to give your system a break. This could include a mall, movie theater or library (if it's open). Be extra vigilant to avoid starting fires. Temperatures cool noticeably by the end of the workweek. Even by Tuesday or Wednesday, we'll experience marked relief from the heat we're enduring into tomorrow. Please take good care of yourself and your loved ones today!

When outside, wear a wide hat, loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing. Use a minimum SPF 15 sunscreen and apply at least 20 minutes before sun exposure with reapplication every two hours. Avoid strenuous activities in the heat that may increase the chance of dehydration leading to heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or a heat stroke. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and stay informed of extreme weather conditions. Never leave people or pets in a car, even for a minute. Residents in need of a fan may dial 211 to check eligibility and receive assistance.
