Is It Hot Enough for You?

Whatever happened to the mild temperatures usually associated with America’s Pacific Northwest? According to CNN,

Seattle [Washington] topped its all-time record high Sunday when thermometers climbed to 104 degrees—so hot that even the normally freezing temperatures above 10,000 feet on Mt. Rainier reached 73 degrees.

Portland [Oregon] set an all-time high of 112 degrees Sunday, but that record will likely be short-lived as the forecast high Monday is 115. That would mark the third day in a row when the heat was above 107 degrees.

Temperatures are expected to remain scorching in the area until Tuesday. That is when highs are supposed to dip to 93 degrees—still far above the usual 75 at this time of year.
