Currently 101 here, heading to 108 later this afternoon. Yesterday and today mark the 4th and 5th times that Seattle has hit triple digits since record-keeping began in 1894. Average highs in this area of 77 during July and August according to weather.gov, not surprisingly AC is fairly rare here and most older homes (like mine) don't have it: Seattle has AC of some kind in only 43% of homes according to the 2019 census data, up from 31% in 2013 with new construction being a big part of the jump.
Portland apparently headed to 114 today.
Yikes.
