New All-Time Maximum Temperature Record for Washington State. And the latest forecast
This week, a team of experienced meteorologists released their report on the June 2021 heatwave and announced that Washington State has a new all-time temperature record of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, set observed in the Hanford Reach, east of Washington (see image of the lookout site below).

This broke the previous record of 118F. My podcast (accessible below or through your favorite podcast service) describes the process of confirming these extreme temperatures and tells you why the Hanford region is particularly favored for harsh summer heat.
And then there’s the weather forecast. My podcast reviews the great upcoming weekend, with full sun and mid-50s temperatures on Saturday. Some high clouds on Sunday and rain on Monday morning. I also look forward to the rest of February.
