Gonna be 113 in Portland, Oregon Sunday.
Gonna be 113 in Portland, Oregon Sunday.
But climate change is a liberal charade.
The censorship king from out of state.
Re: Gonna be 113 in Portland, Oregon Sunday.
Half of that could be attributed to all the hot air spewing out of the mouths of locals.

Look at the bright side - you're only 36 degrees from the 149 degree threshold required to completely kill off Covid.

Re: Gonna be 113 in Portland, Oregon Sunday.
Yeah, I just got back into town for the summer after leaving 115 deg. in Scottsdale. Crazy. Just saw a report that it may be 95 deg. at Government Camp on Mt. Hood. I don't know that it's ever been 95 at Govt. Camp. I fear for the wine grape crop, last year they got hit hard by the forest fire smoke. A bottle of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is gonna cost a fortune if this keeps up...

Climate change has been happening for centuries. Take Portland for example...
What the Portland folks should fear more than the heat, (I just returned from the Bakersfield, CA. area with highs of 118 and wasn't miserable) is the spike in crime that has happened in the past.In the 67 years between 1938 and 2005, the mercury hit triple digits in June three times: June 30, 1942, June 18, 1982, and June 22, 1992.
The other years that had three or more consecutive days over 100 degrees in Portland were 1941, 1942, 1971, 1977, 1994 and 2009.
When such a streak hit in 1981 -- the highs were 103, 107, 105 and 107 on four straight days in early August -- crime spiked too.
“People pop safety valves in soaring temperatures,” The Oregon Journal headlined on Aug. 8, 1981.
The newspaper cited the heat as a driving force in a busy day for local law enforcement, with calls that included a shooting, a stabbing and a raucous party that “ended with police pelted with rocks.”
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Not only is it going to be hot (100+ in much of the interior of California and parts of Washington and Oregon for the next 16 days), but here is the forecast accumulated precip map from now through July 11th. Much of the west coast is expected to literally not get a drop of rain.
Meanwhile in Michigan, there's a chance of rain just about every day for the next 2 weeks, even moreso in the southern half of the state.

It gets really hot and seldom rains in the desert. Imagine that.

It's usually termed "High Desert". More or less the same as everything going out a few hundred miles east of the Cascade mountain range in Oregon & Washington and the Sierra Nevada range in California. It will get hot, but not Southwestern Sonoran desert hot.

Silly me. Here I thought they only called it that since they legalized marijuana.Lester The Nightfly wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 12:44 pm
