Yes, Sunday was a cooker: It reached 100 at Paine Field
EVERETT — The 100 degrees recorded at Paine Field Sunday was not only the toastiest temperature of the year, it was the hottest in more than a decade.
The National Weather Service in Seattle has used the Snohomish County airport as a site to monitor conditions since the mid-1990s. While not an official weather station for long-term climate studies, it does provide a snapshot of local readings.
The Paine Field site previously reached 100 during a 2009 heat wave, said Gary Schneider, a meteorologist for the Weather Service in Seattle.
“That was a multi-day heat wave,” Schneider said of 2009. “This was a rapid warm-up and a relatively decent cool-down.”
The triple digits were reached at Paine Field at 4:53 p.m. Sunday. At Arlington Municipal Airport, the temperature hit 99 at 3:56 p.m.
