Nothing new here. Early morning and just before dark are short times to be outside. Otherwise it is between 95 and 99 degrees.
The local airport reported an odd temperature yesterday. Posted high was 96° but the 5-minute numbers had a 97. (I’m 5 miles from the airport.)
I asked Mark, a contact at the University of Washington, about this.
Mark Albright to me:
“Interesting observation…at least part of the problem is the rounding of whole degrees C to F. The high was 96° F at KELN with 4 consecutive hours of 94° F at 3, 4, 5, and 6 PM PDT. In other words the 97° was really 96° when using higher precision data to tenths of a degree C.”
Monday and Tuesday will also be hot. Then days of 88 and 84. The weekend is expected to be near 80.
The Ellensburg Rodeo and Kittitas County Fair begin Friday. I’m not going this year. 
I went last year as a “greeter” at the Adult Activity Center’s room where we offered wit and wisdom to drop-ins. Also, cookies and cold drinks.
The City’s main water tank is on a hill 100 feet higher than the rodeo arena and 600 feet east. This is the 100th anniversary and the tank has a new mural.
