The last thing you want to hear is that it’s getting even hotter. And even hotter than the forecasters predicted. The new consensus for Wednesday’s high is a record-breaking 101 degrees. And for Thursday, 100 degrees. (To remind you of your misery, we added the current temperature to the top of the site.)

As you might imagine, Golden Gardens is a popular place to cool off. We stopped by the popular beach to snap some photos of people in the water…

And on the water. As always, please be careful.

The spray garden at Ballard Commons Park is another popular place. Many kids (and adults) were getting some relief from the heat running through the water.
