Predicted: 103-105 today; 105 tomorrow; and 101 Sunday. After that it
trails off into the nineties for next week. The humidity is relatively
low, though (I've lived in Upstate New York, Indiana, and Wellesley
Mass.) In Indiana the summer temperature and humidity were often the
same.) When it's hot in NW Oregon, it's still possible for one's sweat
to evaporate, and things cool off pleasantly at night.
A lot of people who live in older apartments in the city have no air
conditioning, but volunteers from various organizations seem to be
checking on them regularly, especially on the elderly.
The rivers have been crowded with crazy people in power boats and jet
skis, and the river patrol has been busy. (In Britain, I think that
would be 'have been busy.')
Stay cool.
