Well folks, this weekend certainly was interesting. Quite literally none of us have ever experienced that kind of heat in Seattle before because we just broke all-time records. Of course, people all over Seattle had their own things to say about it. Let’s take a look at how Twitter reacted.
One user pointed out just how insane the projected temperatures were. Seattle is starting to look more and more like socal and we’re not sure if we like that.
102° today in #Seattle.
106° likely tomorrow.
110° likely on Monday.Absolutely unprecedented and unbelievable. Did we become Sacramento overnight?

Need that data with a little bit of a nationwide perspective? Yea Seattle was really freakin hot this weekend.
Saving this map for posterity.
Forecast high in 110s Monday in #Seattle, a first on record, there.
Not to mention 110s in Portland, OR.
Both hotter than Phoenix. pic.twitter.com/nsnnVa8mTD

While it may have been ridiculously hot the city sure was beautiful. This user captured some stunning photos of West Seattle’s heatwave sunset.

On an equally beautiful note, another Seattleite made a point of looking out for others during the heatwave and provided cold drinks to mail carriers.

One user got creative with foil to reflect the sun out of their home. We’ll have to keep this trick in mind next time.
Getting ready for a 1 in 1000 year heat wave here in #Seattle, putting Al foil on the afternoon sun facing windows. Unfortunately we won’t have to wait another 1000 years for the next one. This is fossil fueled climate change #ClimateCrisis #HEATWAVE pic.twitter.com/GJU005iAax

Humans weren’t the only ones feeling the heat. Even the squirrels were tired of it.
Seattle is officially “pancake squirrel” hot.

NWS came in clutch with the official temperature details and it turns out that both Olympia and Hoquiam also broke records. Yikes!
Here’s where we stood on records today. Expect to see more check marks tomorrow. #wawx pic.twitter.com/CsrUgMrvuU

Now it’s also worth noting that the heat isn’t over. In fact, today might be even hotter. SO be sure to stay hydrated, drink your water all day and do your best to stay cool.
Another record breaking day of heat lies ahead for Western Washington. Along with this, high fire danger is expected today along and east of I-5 as conditions remain dry and easterly winds increase this afternoon. Use extreme caution today! #wawx pic.twitter.com/Rhy6FhYwJj
