Portland was the hottest city on earth for 5 hours, lol

Its reign ended because Mexicali is slow to cool off. The sun has set in Mexicali, it’s still one hundred and four degrees, and it’s only cooling to eighty‐four overnight.

You met my Grandpa? Anyone over the age of 80 will ramble on about the weather like no one, especially those who grew up in rural areas that grew food.

The good news for those in warming shelters is that these areas of the country (urban) have some of the highest vax rates in the nation. They also don't have any active cases of the Delta variant running around either.

A thing to remember about Katrina was it would have had like 1/5 the number of people who stayed in the city if it had happened a week later. By which I mean it was the end of the month and most people were too loving flat broke to evacuate of the city. This poo poo always hurts the least able to deal with it most.

Shooting at sun won’t cool down Earth: NASA scientist to Turkish girl

ADANA

In contrary to what some locals in the southern Turkish province of Adana do, shooting at the sun with a gun will not cool down the Earth, a NASA scientist has told a curious Turkish schoolgirl.

Umut Yıldız, a Turkish scientist working at NASA, participated in the Science Festival of Adana on Oct. 1.

Answering questions via teleconference, Yıldız was asked by a local schoolgirl whether shooting at the sun is a good idea to get some cool in her city, known for its scorching summer heat.

“No, guns will not work, you have to use missiles,” Yıldız jokingly answered, according to local media.

“I live in California and it is also very hot here, but we don’t shoot at the sun,” he added.

Footage showing Adana locals shooting at the sun out of anger at the extremely hot weather went viral in 2016.

Two men were detained for risking people’s life and the Adana Municipality had issued a warning against those who shoot at the sun.

Just in case: Vancouver, WA is right across the river. Maybe a 45 minute commute in traffic. People aren't driving 5 hours each way from BC.

Also you pay OR income tax if you work in OR and live in WA. People commute from Vancouver for the same reasons they commute from any suburb.

It's 75F and cloudy on the south shore of Lake Superior, a little bit inland. 65F if you're out on the lake. Still, we're keeping about 2900 cubic miles of freshwater in the bathtub over here for when the Big One hits.

I barely survived; it was 115°F for over 10 hours at my house, and the inside of the house was 100°F at 75% humidity. I had a tiny window a/c that's broken af but was able to keep my 'cool' room at 89°F through the worst of it. If it weren't for that janky-rear end window unit, me and my two cats would've surely croaked in that heat.
