90 to 100 degrees in Bellingham WA!

Whether there is global warming or not, a smaller global footprint by each person has a positive impact on the environment in general. And if your electricity bill is $5 cheaper because you diligently turn off the lights, there's one less scoop of coal out of the strip mine, and there's one more beer for you to drink.

"Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,
For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.
America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,
And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.”

George Carlin

They're calling for a high of 80 in the Islands today. Now upgraded our forecast here for 94-96...compared to the previous high of 84 for today. I'm not able to find any data on Bellingham, but the all-time high for Seattle was 100, set in 1994.

i'll start you off with a couple of graphs, because they are so nice to look at:

this one is from here:

this one is from here:

and a bonus one, just because it's so shiny:

and, just for the record, if you think that a lack of temperature extremes for a certain period means that there is no change in the average for that period you fail at basic statistics.

Reading comprehension isn't one of your strengths, is it?
Thanks for saying what I already stated.

Read, comprehend, then post.
Too many people like you just want to argue and not listen. You're now on the ignore list.

90 at the beach sounds like a great day! With cold nw winds at 15-20, you'll still need a sweatshirt..........

I thought only old people whined about the weather like this.

The numbers don't lie, but the special interest groups, corporations and politicians are all making a fortune off of you. Keep fluffing me, for their sake.

GW, trust me, you didn't hurt my feelings...you merely insulted your own intelligence!

Bellingham tied the all-time record of 94 today, and it looks like Friday Harbor broke their previous record of 93 with a 95.

So, global warming, you were saying?

WTF every site you listed here is for areas east of the cascades, wich are ALWAYS warmer than the west side.

Seattle apparently also set a new record today at 98.

The stretch of coast from Long Island to Maine is an awesome mix. I loved leaving summers Manhattan and heading to Southern Maine. Cool, crisp air and clear, cold water. And great surf spots to boot.

I'd comment, but I've signed on with Captain Powder's Global Chillin Campaign.
Conflict of temperments and all that stuff, ya know...
The Captain told me to just chill.
