    West Coast Heat Wave

    Supposed to hit 41* C (106F) for the next couple of days here. To put it in perspective, summers are generally cool here near the coast and never get much over 75 degrees. This ought to be fun.

    That's terrible for the PNW where most people don't have air conditioned homes. One of our sons there does have an ac in his house, the other has portable ones ... but when we lived there we had several wood stoves as well as central heat........but no AC......

    Here in Oklahoma, the weather is cooler than usual.

    Everything is backwards.

    I would have thought that when they stopped the keystone pipeline all the weather problems would have been solved. They weren't so I'm calling this heatwave "The biden Heatwave".

    Our projection is for 98 degrees here. Add the 4 degrees that the weather projection is ALWAYS OFF & that's 102. That's about normal here.

    We are also projected to get rain 7 out of the next 9 days. The last time they projected 7 days of rain out of 9 days (3 weeks ago) we got 1 day where it rained for almost 40 minutes, which wasn't a hard rain. When I die I want to come back as a weatherman. Never right but being paid big bucks for being wrong. What a JOB!!!

    Not bad at all. It is cool on the coast, warm in Portland, the Willamette, Klamath, and Rogue Valleys, and hot in the eastern desert.

    I use an air conditioner in the bedroom in the summertime, and that's usually enough. Now I've got a couple of portables going as well to keep the place tolerable.
    They're calling this a 'heat dome'. They occur in the desert climes of the the southwest apparently:

    It'll just be a couple of days it looks like. Think I'll take Monday off work. Yeah. lol.

    I hate really hot weather. I hate really cold weather too. That's one of the reasons why I tolerate life in Vancouver.

    Now this. What a gyp.
