Are you pulling my chain? 80 degrees at 7 in the morning? Yup, that is correct. After some seering temperatures yesterday (107 in Tigard), the overnight didn’t cool off much. As I headed into work this am, my thermometer read a nice and balmy 80. Very unusual for a low. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out this was a record “high” low. In addition, how about this, it’s 90 right now and it’s not even 11 am. Cut out from work today and go to the beach… it’s gonna be a scorcher. I wouldn’t be surprised to see temps near 110 in the metro area.
Yes I heard one of the weather TV guys say it was the warmest low ever in PDX last night. Yow!
Posted by Clark | July 29, 2009, 10:43 pmDoesn’t surprise me. In fact, I was talking about this to some people this am. I’ve never felt it as warm as it was in the morning since I’ve been living here. And that’s 25 years!

Posted by Bobby | August 1, 2009, 6:07 amDon’t forget though that your thermometer may be close to the house in uncirculating air. While I don’t doubt it was hot, I’m guessing that the free flowing air temp might have been a couple degrees lower. Which begs the question…. does it really matter what the temp is after you hit 98?
Posted by spinjunkey | August 1, 2009, 6:41 pmOops, I meant that it was 109.6 on Tuesday afternoon… Sorry if I mislead anyone…
