The shirt-drenching heat wave the Pacific Northwest is experiencing is nothing to complain about, KIRO Radio’s John Curley says.

With temperatures expected to remain in the high-80s and 90s in Seattle &#8212 and 100, according to weatherman Curley &#8212 people are preparing for a miserable week. But that doesn’t have to be the attitude people take.

“It builds character,” Curley told KIRO Radio’s Tom Tangney.

Is that right, Curley?

“It’s true,” he continued. “It makes us all stronger.”

Instead of complaining about the heat, think about the great story you’ll be able to tell in the future.

“You’ve lived through something … as opposed to being all cry-baby about it,” Curley added. “What you say is, ‘Oh my gosh, remember that summer? It was one-hundred degrees.'”
