But when 100 hits and or there is high humidity, it pretty much runs 24/7 and barely keeps the house at 74.
Summer supposedly starts tomorrow up here, been cloudy pretty much all of June. Right now I'm JUST FINE with that. Seattle's slated to become maybe a bit cloudier due to global warming, which is a fine trend in my view -- certainly better than the alternative the rest of the country's currently experiencing.
Edit: holy shit.
Emphasis added.

Well, I guess Lebron had to win one sometimes... but yeah, the Bloody Heat!
I just got back from the Keys a few days ago. It was cooler there than in most of the U.S. At one point it was about 88 degrees in the Keys and 108 in St. Louis.
I think you'll be ok, but it's very muggy in the Keys some days.
The clouds mostly went away yesterday, but today is the first truly cloud-free day in Seattle in weeks, if not months. Completely gorgeous. Bright, warm (low 70s), and the only thing more blue than the sky is all the water surrounding the city (Lake Washington, Lake Union, Elliot Bay, Puget Sound). The mountains are all out, snowcapped in their glory.

102* F (IN THE SHADE) , 80% humidity in my backyard today. It's 10:30 pm and still 89* F
It's supposed to get into the upper 80s this weekend, so we are finally getting a little taste of the heat the rest of the country has been dealing with.
Uh, no. Upper 80s is still pleasant. Tomorrow, we are supposed to hit 106 in Columbus area. Yesterday, we set a record with 98, which surprised me a bit, because usually the record is just over 100. Anyway, that extra 10 degrees makes a HUGE difference.
Yes it does, and the thing that kills me most about the heat this summer is that, at least in Oklahoma, it's like it got turned on overnight. One day it was 88, the next day it was over 100, and has stayed there almost every day since. No gradual increase for us.
Looking at 100 on Saturday here. Heat Index 105 to 110.
Meanwhile, in England, I've seen the sun about three times in the last two months. I feel like I'm in Blade Runner.
101, 102, 104
Those are the high temps (not heat index) here from yesterday, today and tomorrow. Funny, because I do not recall having moved to the SURFACE OF THE SUN recently.
Thankfully we are going on vacation starting Saturday. Ironicaly we are heading south, to Tampa, where it is 10-15 degrees COOLER than it is here.
105 tomorrow, and I start sailing lessons. Should be a good way to lose weight.
Also, I think my AC is in trouble, the compressor takes three or four attempts to start up. I'm not liking my odds of finding an AC repairman today or tomorrow.
At this point it's probably cheaper to buy a new unit. Especially if it's an older model. Most places have sales going on.
If you are in the DC area, start planning now.
High temps on Sunday will be 98-100 degrees.
High temps on Monday will be 79-80 degrees.
A temperature shift that dramatic rarely happens without heavy lightning, high winds, and downed power lines. Charge up those devices and arrange your refrigerators and freezers accordingly!
