Ooba Tooba Mexican Cafe
Yesterday I had a nice lunch in Woodinville with my good friend Myrtle, and we sat at this outdoor table talking for a pleasant hour. The air was so hazy, soft and balmy we could have been in California!
Seattle summer smog
Seattle really could pass for Los Angeles today. Over 200 wildfires are burning in Canada and the jet stream is moving smoke all across the country like a highway, including large parts of Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, eastern Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, northeastern Colorado, and much of western and central Washington.
The smoke overcast filters out the sun, actually making it cooler here in this week. Needless to say the air quality is poor. We should be back to more normal summer weather this weekend, with morning clouds, afternoon sun and temperatures in the 70's.
But still no rain on the horizon. We don't have mandatory water restrictions like California yet, but they are advising us to "use it wisely." From Seattle Public Utilities:
"After the hottest June in recorded history, higher-than-usual water consumption, record-low stream flows into storage reservoirs and the onset of El Niño conditions, we have changed our water supply outlook from good to fair."
