Pacific Northwest Heat Wave Is Buckling Roads And Melting Power Cables
HuffPost
Temperature records are shattering across a region that rarely deals with intense heat.
A blistering heat wave is scorching the Pacific Northwest this week, shattering temperature records and damaging infrastructure across a region usually known for its mild climate. Portland, Oregon’s most populous city, broke its heat record of 108 degrees on Sunday when the temperature topped out at 112, and it may hit 115 on Monday. Salem, the state’s capital, broke its heat record two days in a row, with the temperature hitting 113 degrees on Sunday and 114 on Monday. Temperatures were slightly lower in Washington, in part due to a marine layer moving in off the coast. Still, Seattle on Monday marked the first time on record it has had three consecutive days of triple-digit weather.
