The temperatures in Portland, Oregon could top 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday.
PORTLAND, Ore. — The temperatures in Portland, Oregon, could top 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday, making it likely the hottest day of a week-long heat wave for the Pacific Northwest region that rarely sees such scorching weather.
Forecasters issued an excessive heat warning for parts of Oregon and Washington state. Temperatures could hit the 90s in Seattle and 110F in eastern parts of Oregon and Washington.As the northwestern U.S. heats up, scorching temperatures in the Northeast are expected to cool in coming days.Philadelphia hit 99 degrees Sunday before factoring in humidity. Newark, New Jersey, had its fifth consecutive day of 100 degrees or higher, the longest such streak since records began in 1931.
A new Oregon law will require all new housing built after April 2024 to have air conditioning installed in at least one room. The law already prohibits landlords in most cases from restricting tenants from installing cooling devices in their rental units. “It’s nothing we haven’t seen before in terms of the magnitude, but the duration of the event is fairly unusual,” said John Bumgardner, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Portland.
