Record Heat Wave in Portland.

10:54 PM Update: It's 82°F outside. The stagnate, warm air makes for great colors at sunset, to be sure...this was taken around 9:15 tonight. Thank God for central air heating/cooling; it'll be another long, hot Summer night in Portland.


7:31 PM Update: It's 101°F, and no one is sitting outside restaurants and Starbucks. Not many people are walking outside too. Normally on a Summer evening, this restaurant below would be packed with people outside. Today's official high: 106°F. One degree shy of tying the record, and tomorrow is supposed to be warmer.


5:34 PM Update:Fell asleep. Got up, surfed the net, and just now, I checked the temperature over at Accuweather. The image speaks for itself.


9:15 AM Update: It's 80°F outside. Sun is shining bright, and not a cloud in the sky. Who says it rains too much in Portland?


6:45 AM Update - The sun just peeked above the buildings, and it actually dropped a degree to 76°F! I doubt it'll get any cooler, now that the sun is out.


6:30 AM, and it's already 77°F. It never actually cooled down lower than 72, as far as I could tell. It's gonna be a record scorching day.
