Seattle, Washington broke its all-time temperature record on Wednesday as a heat wave pushed temperatures up to an incredible 102 degrees Farenheit.

The city's previous record was 100 degrees, set in 1994.

The National Weather Service recorded 102 degrees at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, breaking a previous record of 100 degrees, set most recently in 1994.

Jay Albrecht with the National Weather Service says that's the hottest it has been in Seattle since temperatures were first recorded in 1891. He says temperatures could keep climbing.
