The Seattle area is having a 'heat wave'. This means it has been over 90 degrees for more than a couple days. The record for consecutive days with over 90 degree weather in this region is 6 days. Yesterday Seattle hit 103 degrees for the first time since weather has been measured.
In Arizona the record for consecutive days above 110 degrees is 18 days.
Marissa is from Arizona, so you might think she would find this Seattle heatwave to be insignificant to normal Arizona weather, but some things make this Seattle heatwave more difficult to bear. Mostly the fact that almost no one has air conditioning and it is very humid.
The hot humid weather makes me feel nostalgic for my childhood summer vacations to Omaha, where it was always very hot and humid. I notice that as an adult I am much better at coping with the heat.
