Seattle, Wash. – A heat advisory remains in effect across Seattle and much of western Washington through 5 a.m. Monday, with afternoon highs climbing into the upper 80s under clear skies. The National Weather Service warns the combination of sunshine and warm overnight lows in the 60s will increase health risks for older adults, children, and people without reliable cooling.
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, temperatures will reach 89°F Saturday and 88°F Sunday, staying near 87°F Monday before easing slightly midweek. The prolonged stretch of hot, dry weather could worsen air quality and elevate wildfire concerns across King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties.
In Seattle, residents are urged to stay hydrated and avoid outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours. Local officials advise checking on neighbors without air conditioning and making use of community cooling centers. The warm nights, with lows holding near 65°F, offer little relief for households without fans or AC.
The heat is expected to break slightly by Tuesday, though highs will still linger in the mid-80s. Officials say further advisories are possible if dry, hot conditions persist into next week.
