Nice. I’m guessing a brown/black out due to AC use? Hopefully tomorrow isn’t a repeatQuote:

112 right now at my house
Oof
Stay cool, everyone
Who knows. With the amount of development going on in town and on cougar mountain, the plateau you have to wonder if PSE is keeping up.Quote:

Our weather station shows 112*, but there's some reflection from the roof.Quote:

I was just wondering if Portland would finally be on a temp downswing, and clicked through to NWS to see... 114F tomorrow?!?!? What the friggin' fuck? That's like an extraordinary summer temp if it was Vegas. Daaamn. Hang in there people. And prep your improvised ice vests tonight.
But that's the thing with climate change. If you raise the average, you also raise sigma 1 and 2 deviation Events a lot because they are outliers. Germany had 40.3 degrees (communist units) as an all time high at ONE Station since 1983. ( up from 39.highsomething). Which Was tied in 2015 and then blown away by dozens of Stations with nearly 42 as the New record in 2019. It's not going up in small increments if the general setup favors heat waves.Quote:

How is this affecting the cherry harvest?
Cherries are doing okay. Seems like It's the apples that are going to sufferQuote:

Interesting, I didn't know they were that way. Not much cherry growing here on EC.Quote:

It made it up to 93 yesterday just before 5 then started dropping, it was 64 when I woke up two hours ago, now it's 71. I made the mistake of mentioning to my gf that I had a window air conditioner somewhere buried in storage that I hadn't used since '98 and she suggested that I find it and install it. Of course it wasn't where I thought it was and had a bunch of stuff on top of it but it worked and had the house down to the low 70's in no time.
80F inside first floor last night at 12:00.
76F inside now in full ventilation mode.
I just hope they get the forecast right and the cool(er) air returns overnight tonight.
I woke up last night and saw the outdoor temp at 75, so I shutdown the AC and opened the windows. The inside house temperature didn't budge at all by 6:00 this morning, but I guess at least it didn't go up...

Yep, had 'em cranking. What I probably need to make an appreciable difference is an attic fan.Quote:

Put the horses out at 4am this morning.
I think there is a whole thread about the effectiveness of attic fans.Quote:

Most of the vineyards in WA are in the hottest and driest part of the state. I don’t think the grapes will suffer too much, it’s not much hotter than normal.
