Record breaking day

Temperatures in Eureka hit a new high today, sending locals out for warm sunshine and cold drinks.

[I just work here]

79 is hot? RIIIIIIIGHT...I used to live in Ukiah. We got a lot of days ver 110 or so. So no whining. This is nice weather.

[I see the truth of it]

79 is warm for Eureka, remember, we don't tan, we rust.

[Uhh]

Why is 79 the official temperature when the airport is 91? Are we talking 79 at Woodley Island?

So what's the record for the airport? It hit 92 in Arcata proper.

[theo therme]

the national weather service office is on woodley island. i would imagine thats where the number came from. the thermometer may be in the shade also.

[unanonymous]

thermometer is supposed to be in the shade. They're measuring ambient temperature not direct solar heating.

[Saddened]

according to the weather channel at 5:00 PM eureka was at 98 Degrees.

There were places in Northern California where people would've killed to be on the coast when it's 79 (or 82 or 85 or 92 or 100) degrees. Man...just enjoy it.

Funny! I remember friends from Willow Creek coming to town to get out of the heat.

I think Ted might remember the fog line use to be at Harris Street when I lived in Cutten. but we would still go swimming at the Freshwater Park, or under the rails in Blue Lake; sun or fog it was always fun.

Our weather has definitely changed in past 30 years.

79 is still not the all-time record of 87!
I was working that day and boy that was hot!
