Summer 2009 in the great Inland Northwest officially came with a sub-60's day. We had some nice days in the 70's during the week, but June 21 came in with a ppphhhhffftt (as Bill the Cat might have said).
I really thought Hoopfest the following week would have brought us 90's, since Hoopfest always seems to mark the Official Heatstroke Weekend for Spokane (I intend to play in 2010, so it will probably be in the 100's. Mark my words). It, too, was comfortable in the low-80's.
However, Old Man Summer finally showed up on the extended 4th of July weekend - the week was solidly in the mid 80's and by Friday, hello 95! For tomatoes and summer squash, mid-90's is the equivalent of heaven. We could almost hear them grow!
Yet, in the tradition of the Inland Northwest, 95 on Saturday become 75 on Sunday!
Our local Climatologist Cliff Harris has predicted a short summer. Hopefully, it won't be this short...
I will say that everything is looking great so far!
