Seattle Pride 2013 was a hot mess as this image shared with us by Tim Durkan attests (via Twitter). More pictures from Capitol Hill’s Pride Saturday here.

It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity. The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning through 11 PM Monday:

…EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT THIS
EVENING…

* TIMING…TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE GREATER SEATTLE METROPOLITAN
AREA TODAY WILL BE SIMILAR TO SUNDAY…AND HUMIDITY WILL BE
SLIGHTLY HIGHER. WHILE TUESDAY WILL BE SOMEWHAT COOLER…THE
TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE ABOVE NORMAL. A GRADUAL COOLING TREND
WILL CONTINUE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.

* TEMPERATURE…HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE MID 80S TO MID 90S IN
THE SEATTLE METROPOLITAN AREA. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE
UPPER 50S TO MID 60S.

* IMPACTS…HOT WEATHER LURES MANY TO RIVERS AND LAKES. PLEASE BE
AWARE THAT THE WATER…ESPECIALLY IN THE RIVERS…IS COLD ENOUGH
TO BE HAZARDOUS. IN ADDITION RIVER CURRENTS ARE STRONG THIS TIME
OF THE YEAR.

THOSE SENSITIVE TO HEAT SPELLS…SUCH AS THE ELDERLY…AND THOSE
WORKING OUTDOORS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR A PERIOD OF HOT WEATHER.

The week’s forecast calls for moderating temperatures — and a pretty darned nice 4th of July at the 11th annual Cal Anderson Independence Day Picnic.

Meanwhile, for the little ones, Cal Anderson’s wade pool isn’t open on Mondays but Volunteer Park’s pool and Miller Community Center’s water play area are ready to serve you.
