How Hot Was It In Seattle? Heat Records Broken Across Western Washington
United States
This past weekend's heat wave broke several temperature records - not only for June 25, but for the entire month of June. Seattle's highest temperature hit 93 on Sunday, which destroys the previous record high for that day: 87 degrees in 2002. Olympia hit 98 on Sunday, which breaks the all-time high temperature for a June day in that city, which was last set on June 18, 1982.
