Mofo is it hot today. KATU:

Heat wave expected to peak today with temperatures well above 100
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Temperatures all over Oregon are expected to shoot past 104 degrees today, making it one of the hottest days in Oregon in years. And relief won’t come until Sunday: 100-plus degree temperatures are also expected Saturday. The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning through late Saturday. A high pressure system creeping up from the desert Southwest is dominating the region and bringing the record-breaking temperatures. Thursday’s reading of 102 degrees at the Portland airport smashed the old record of 97 degrees. Temperatures Friday are also expected to be in record-breaking territory with the old mark at 98 degrees.

Yesterday afternoon. Driveway of the new house at 5:15 pm: approx 102 degrees. Inside? 71. If I make it to my deathbed without having ever truly snapped (ie I never climbed a belltower with sack lunch in one hand and a scoped rifle in the other) I will strongly credit central air conditioning for my lifetime of excellent relatively stable mental health. The CFO and Messrs Tanqueray and Schwepps should get a little bit of the credit as well.
