Betsynote: As I type this in for Jamie, it is hot. Darn hot. Too sunny-must-go-kayak-on-the-lake-hot....This is not the Seattle I know!

Around this time of year, a lot of us here in Redmond like to spend our spare time outside. Summers are beautiful in Washington State and we frequently check the weather to help plan our next hike or boating trip on the lake. We know a lot of you are doing the same.
To get you this information quickly, we recently launched an Instant Answer for weather. We teamed up with MSN Weather to give you the current conditions, high/low temperatures and four day forecast right on our search results page.
You can see this in action by searching for the weather in a specific location, like weather redmond wa or chicago temperature. If you’re a touring rock star and forget where you are, or just madly efficient with your keystrokes - try searching for just weather. We estimate your location and show the temperature near you. This doesn’t always work depending on how you connect to the Internet, but it’s usually pretty close.
In addition to sending feedback on this, we would really like to hear which instant answers you want us to build next. Is there a specific kind of content you want to be able to find faster? Something we could add to our page to make your life just a little bit easier? Please let us know.
