#Portland #PacWest #PacificNorthwest
I am a FedEx Ground driver in Portland. It has been a nightmare of a Monday. I live in Downtown Portland and it was 115 here.
God bless brother 🙏
I assume it’s driving ANTIFA back to their parents basements to their home states.
oj yeah and your trucks dont even have AC?
Keep drinking water man and make sure to get ventilation in the truck! Insanely easy to get heat stroke!
I know.
Me in west Linn Oregon: Literally dying
ITS FRICKIN 116 DEGREES OUTSIDE
When I moved from Texas to Oregon I was like, yayyy no more excruciating heat! WELL NEVERMIND
it won't be the norm. the last time it got close to this hot in Portland was July 4, 1911, and it reached 103 (hottest independence day in history).
@@magicskyfairy69 1981 and 1964, Portland Int'l Airport reached the highest recorded temp of 107.
@@jzen1455 The airport? ok... i mean if you stick a thermometer on a runway, I'm sure you can get some great readings (if I take your word for that), but I couldn't find any article or record to that effect. Either way, temperatures at this level are not going to be the norm.
@@jzen1455 Ok, I found the Portland Int'l temperature records. So they're showing there were 15 days since 2010 that exceed 100 degrees. For comparison, from 1938 to 1948, there were also 15 days that exceeded 100 degrees, but they don't show any data pre-1938, and there would have been a lot of them in the 30s since that was the dust bowl era, (ie, extremely hot). From 2000 to 2010 there were also 15 days that exceeded 100. From 1990 to 2000, there were 12 days that exceeded 100 degrees. My point is just that an outlier outcome doesn't indicate a trend. Basically in any given decade, portland can expect about 15 days to exceed 100 fahrenheit, at least, at the airport.
@@magicskyfairy69 It'll get worse.
I've been hosing down my llamas and myself for the last 2 days strait right outside of Portland. Its really quite manageable so long you got a hose.
Wait till the water runs out.
@@neilfox9854 we've still got mountains with snow. But Portland region does have the highest water rates in the entire country - in summer my bill is $200-250/month, winter $150-175.
hose is useless without water.
@@jumperstartful no water shortage in PNW, we're not California.
...definitely NOT a sentence I ever expected to read outside of a novel. Ty and keep hydrates
I’m from California so getting warm days isn’t out the norm. However, when I moved to Portland it’s got 115 degrees! That’s nuts!
Sounds like it followed you. Not cool!
And it's exceptionally early for these temperatures, even in Cali', some places 30-40+ degrees above average.
Greetings from the inferno bowl, Tucson, AZ! ✌️🔥
@@j.s.h.536 not anymore. Portland is hotter than the western Sahara right now.
@@neilfox9854 Lol, y'all can take it, for a little bit. ☠️
Crazy heat.... Just got of work where we have no A/C and inside the building the thermostat read 107°... It wasn't fun 🥵🥵😅😓
lol they should give u all the day off
why so many houses in the northwest have no A/C?
@@chicogozosodecabellosedoso The climate here is generally a bit colder so not as much need for it most of the time. Although in the summer it's not uncommon to have some pretty dry hot kinda days where we reach 100° a couple times a year. I'd say most people have a window A/C unit for their house but that's no where near good enough to fend off the blazing heat wave we just had. 115° is absolutely unheard of here and no one alive before this past weekend had ever experienced that kind of heat in Washington and Oregon's western valleys
@@jarrettjames4286 thanks
I'm in Portland region and my high yesterday in shade was 111. June normal to us is 70s. We typically get only a few days or 1 week with 90s per year. My azaleas got sunscalded - leaves burned & turned brown.
As far as AC in the PNW. It depends on which side of the cascades. In the west side it’s not as common to find it. But the eastern part it is more common because the summer temps do get into the 90’s and 100’s. But this is TOO hot even for eastern Washington standards
I’m in Wilsonville, Oregon (20 minutes south of Portland) and we hit 116 on the worst day. Due to my health and medications I don’t handle the heat well so we have had two ac’s for our apartment for the last few years. A weeks ago we got a third. Best decision of my life. But even with three good ac’s they couldn’t keep up in the heat. It was still almost unbearable, and we almost went to a motel.
Certainly is unusual to stay that hot for that long! I'm sure you're doing the best that's possible! Please keep us posted!
Your city needs to REPENT or it will get MUCH worse.
It is a compensation for frosty winter in Texas this year.
lol...you son of a gun !! 😅
How high are the UV indexes?
How long will it last? Till the end of month?
I was literally dying when that happens
And here I am in Belgium where it is now July but the weather feels more like fall
thanks republicans
Meanwhile in Germany we'r having allover massive rainstorms and flooding..the climate is changing the world upside down..
Stay strong Portland....sending you some rain clouds and blessings to overcome the heat
Hope your safe ❤❤❤
Omg it's raining in Germany? That's never happened ever!! Here in the northeast we've had at least 4 record cold days this summer already. Guess the earth is cooling now. Gmafb
I read that even Miami, Florida has never seen temperatures as high as 116F, but Portland did. That's incredible.
Miami is directly on the Atlantic Ocean and because of its moderating effects it’s hottest temp EVER was 97 degrees. Usually tops out around 88-90 because of it. Humidity is a different story.
Today 83 and scattered storms ther
So far we are fine in the UK. Just an average English summer so far. I hope it stays that way! Fingers crossed!
110 degrees in Phoenix is a little warm haha
Sellwood Pool!, my kids learned to swim there.
If this kind of Hi pressure sets itself up around Arizona we could set some world record temps of 128 in Phoenix, 139 in Death Valley, 125 in Vegas.
When I lived in PDX I would go up the mountain and camp and commute to work. Also spent quite a bit of time at sauvies island. But never temperature like this.
Well you have lived for a few decades and the earth has been cooling for billions of years so I am definitely going by your opinion.
It was 108 in my areas. I work outdoors. Drink water and take breaks. Now shut up.
Hottest day ever?
Where was the temperature gauge ? (Surrounded by cement), that wasn't there in times ago.
Obvious bot is obvious.
And the earth was much hotter than it is now for most of it's history..
Must have been caused by us then, too..
@@MrPaulwilliamkoehn this is legit, I'm living in sotheastasia and the usual temp every hot dry months is usually 36c but now it reaches 49-52c🙄 Climate change is real.
A diminishing molecular oxygen atmosphere is allowing more energy to reach the Earth's surface where it transitions into light and then heat. Obscured truth.
We have a stretch of 110 + heat index for month stretches or longer in Arkansas during summer every year poor babies
*So what is the greatest invention?*
A Sliced bread

Dont underestimate bug spray
Hope they never complain about the rain again.
lol love the rain. except in winter. all PNWers have webbed feet
Portland and Seattle both set all time high temprature record
Cold snap in Yuma.
Hello, London England here, can we have some of that please.
As a person living in the west, 90 degree weather is jacket weather for us.
1800+ homeless people in Portland. Constant protests, violence. But oh my it’s warm outside….
I live in Chicago and all we got is rain 🤠 and bullets
Hopefully you don’t have any PSPS (public safety power shut offs) during this heatwave. Here in northern California they like to shut our power off during the hottest days. The PNW gonna dry out in a day.
This kind of thing has never been seen in North America going back to the 1850's. Who knows what happened before that time, but as far as people have kept weather records, no heat wave has ever broken all meteorological data that is known. I imagine that many meteorologists are asking questions, the biggest of which is, "is this going to happen again? Could it be worse?"
Memorial Day weekend just a few weeks ago had 2 of the coldest days ever recorded for much of the nation. About 15 years ago there was also record lows for Memorial Day. The earth has been cooling for 4.5 billion years. That ain't changing any time soon.
@@nickrock23 Okay, not much reality with this statement. Yeah the earth cooled for about 3.8 billion years, but has remained fairly normal for millions of years but does have fluctuations of ice ages, followed by warm years. But you ignored what I said because you are embracing the anti-climate change thinking set forth by religionists who are terrified of Communism. Climate change is a fact just as evolution is. These facts don't care about political ideologies, rather they are just facts.
We have fairly accurate weather data in all of the large cities on the planet going back to the 1700's. At no time has there ever been a heat wave that shattered all time record highs by 10-12 degrees. It just doesn't happen.
In other words, if this same hi pressure system set itself up over southern California, Death Valley would set an all time world record of 144 degrees. Phoenix would hit 132, and Vegas 127. It is important that we recognize this because if Phoenix ever hit 132, people would drop like flies.
@@j50wells false. the Smithsonian has a chart going back billions of years and the trend is clear. Cooling. Memorial Day weekend 3 weeks ago set records all over the country for lows. 3 days of winter in June. But you will deny that because you're a science denier. Newsweek 1975 cover story, ice age coming, consensus of the scientific community. Anyone who denied it was called the same thing you're accusing me of now.
The temperature anomaly for the last 100 years (pre dates combustion engine) is less than 1 degree F according to NASA. Fact!!
@@nickrock23 Right, slow cooling, but there is fluctuation. In other words, we are not going into a perpetual ice age. But it still does not explain an event that hasn't happened in the last 250 years yet just happened in western Oregon. And still, we have more data than the Smithsonian about climate change, a change explained by tons of data by every meteorologist on the planet, and yet the only ones arguing against climate change is the same people who still try to debunk evolution.
And I question your facts. They sound like something that came from a right wing website or right wing radio pundit.
@@nickrock23 Also surprised you'd quote Newsweek, especially since they are so truthful all of the time, notwhitstanding the article was written in 1975 when the earth sciences were quite primitive compared to the hi-tech we can use now. It's like trying to compare a race car of today with one built in 1975, and then trying to say they knew more about race cars then than they do now. Come on Nick, you can do better than that.
I thought it would be a long time before PNW suffered under global warming. With records falling and temps 40 degrees higher than average, I am kinda concerned not gonna lie.
Portland is getting temperatures like Arizona
Except our humidity puts us in a whole other league!
I remember when texas lost power over the winter and we were ridiculed for not being prepared for a cold snap.
yeah that was horrorific. ive also heard rumours that the power company there can remotely change people's heat registers to "save energy"?
The record all-time high in Portland until three days ago was 107. Monday, we had 116. Tree rings indicate this kind of event might occur as often as once in 1200 years, AT MOST. But nowhere in Oregon were there large-scale power failures. A couple of hotels had insufficient air conditioning for conditions.
I'd roundly criticize the Texas state government for its decisions on maintenance of its power grid. But I'd never ridicule Texans, especially for the catastrophe of that grid's failures. Texans rushed to the aid of their fellow citizens, putting themselves at risk for others. I call that commendable, merciful, and honorable.
Let's be clear about where any fault lies. And then let's take action to fix the problems. And in the mean time, let's stop pointing fingers, middle ones or not, and stop shouting accusations. That kind of activity is not only useless, but detrimental. Real politics is about joining efforts, not hatred. What we need is more real politics: getting real.
@@farmergiles1065 huzzah. i also missing real American politics: Pragmatism.
Heaven Bambino keep cool
back in the 1930s it would get as high as 110 degrees in July, and there was no BS of global warming back then.
Meanwhile in Philippines its another normal weather 🤣 ☀️
People need air conditioning in the Pacific Northwest even if they don’t plan on using them very often.
It’s in the 60’s there today. This is the Great White Shark and Killer Bee story of the summer. Not to put too fine a point on it, it’s more bull&hit from the same bull$hit purveyors.
That’s the problem is we only get 12-20 90+ degree days here in Portland and the other days it pretty much stays squat. There’s no need for the most part.
We get more 90 degree days along with high humidity in the northeast so that’s why air conditioning is a must throughout the northeast.
@@arosenweig Yes, humidity here is in the 30-45% range depending on the day.
Who can deny something screwy in the climate now?
Possibly, and it's easy to look at only select data from the last 50 to 100 years and be concerned. But, humans have been around for 100,000 to 300,000 years, mammals have been around for about 200,000,000 years and life forms first emerged billions of years ago. For a vast majority of the last 250,000 years, average global temperatures have been estimated to be 10 to 30 degrees hotter than it is today. Temperatures have been on a steady rise for only the last 20,000 to 25,000 years. I think it's obvious that modern human activity contributes at least insignificantly to climate change, maybe even moderately, but the long term data suggests that significant climate change is natural (likely due to solar cycles) and while I think we should put reasonable efforts into reducing pollution and waste heat generation, I think we should put a majority of our "climate change dollars" into plans on how to survive extreme "natural" climate changes, hot or cold ones!
Take a look at the "Grand Solar Minimum GSM News" UA-cam channel for more on this. His opinions may be a little bit biased in one direction for some people to appreciate, but I think it's worth watching at least one of his videos to provide balance on the whole climate change debate. 😎
@@JohnLRice Sorry but i’ll take NASA’s advice over a pseudo science YT channel any day of the week. www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/solar-events-news/Does-the-Solar-Cycle-Affect-Earths-Climate.html#Q3 As far as they’re concerned, the solar cycles have had little to no effect on Climate Change. And speaking of CC, it’s no longer up for debate. It’s real, it’s happening as we speak and humans have greatly contributed to it over the last 100 years.

Newsflash: 117 degrees is NOT normal in the Pacific NW. Use your head man.
It’s been hotter there. Just not when our species was there.
It is unlikely it has been hotter in 30 million years.
@@neilfox9854 . Earth has experienced cold periods (or “ice ages”) and warm periods (“interglacials”) on roughly 100,000-year cycles for at least the last 1 million years. The last of these ices ended around 20,000 years ago. Read a book. Sure we’re screwing it up. We screw everything up. So?
@@neilfox9854 dude for the last 30 million years this year wouldn't even make the top 29.99 million years on temperature. Look at the Smithsonian graph.
Yea no thanks. I bet its muggy. After a rainy winter
This is the beginning ; the beginning of human migration to cities below ground ; surface temperatures have increased to a point where hundreds have all ready died because of it , the only viable solution is to build a new world below ground where the roof of this new world is about 25 - 30 feet below the surface.
I agree, it's only gonna get worse from here!
EWTN News: On a mission to report the truth.
It used to reach 119 degrees in Oregon back in 1898 but I'm sure it was all the pollution thier wagons were producing and that was the cause of global warming back then too.
Too hot for my a**, tell you that!

no one thinks the climate isn't changing, it is changing now, it was changing before, and it will always be changing.
FYI, the hottest temperature ever recorded was 134 degrees in Greenland Ranch, California on July 10, 1913. Moreover, most US cities record high temperatures still have records in the 1930s, which was called the dustbowl era. If you don't believe me, go look for the data. happy hunting.
@@magicskyfairy69 exactly, this has happened before. Most online commentors havnet lived long enough to know anything. Many of the heat records were set in the 1800s
@@researchandbuild1751 I agree with you on that point too. The Sacramento Bee reported 133 degrees in Santa Barbara on June 17, 1859. They detail fruits cooking on the trees, and fishermen's skin blistering from being stuck out at sea. We didn't have a complete temperature record at all places, granted, so there's a recency bias that people have where they think the current period they're in is unique or special in some way.
