I've definitely felt "scorching" at 25 C, particularly under dry conditions with a strong sun. I've even felt scorching down to about 21 C under those same conditions. I think people underestimate the power of the sun on a day with low humidity.
It is 23C (74F) right now, no cloud in the sky and it feels HOT. Other factors besides temperature can also affect the perception.

For sure - those are the days where people get burned the worst.

Yep - I've even felt hot when we get a "cold snap" here on a cloudless, windless 15-18 C day. Of course, on days like that, once the sun gets to a low enough angle in late afternoon you can feel the temperature dropping quickly.
Too many people mistake UV for temperature. They think they won't get burnt on a dry, mild day because it isn't hot. I've seen it many times.
Chicagogeorge is annoying because he doesn't like your climate. I am annoying because I don't like a web site based in the UK. That is my opinion after all. You don't have to agree with me. What's wrong with the UK users? Why do you all get offended by different opinions? No other users react like that.
You are like a broken record, going on endlessly about how much better weather.com is than weatheronline, like you refuse to accept that for some places the latter might be more accurate than the former. I really have no idea why it bothers you so much. I'm not trying to convince you that weatheronline is better for Seattle than weather.com. Seriously, who cares - you use what you want and others will use what they want.
And I couldn't care less if it's UK based or not, lol.
So weatheronline is your most accurate one then? Is that the case for other European countries too? Most posters from Europe I see use it.
I think it's a German site, though the UK office is based in Leeds. I find them far more accurate than the BBC, who always underestimate temperatures here.
The worst forecasts of all for here are weather.com and accuweather. I don't know why Botev still uses them. He doesn't trust WO for Seattle, why would he trust the US-based sites here?
Honestly, using TWC is foolish even for places here, let alone places abroad. I'd rather stick to the NWS or whatever that country's met office is.
NWS isn't really more accurate than TWC.
