Crazy heat wave in the Pacific northwest. 105 degrees expected in Seattle today. That's 30 degrees above normal. I hardly broke a sweat during my Seattle days. I remember having to wear a sweater during a 4th Of July cookout. The people up there aren't prepared for that kind of heat.
A lot of people in those places do not even have AC in their homes. I lived in central Oregon in a modern home that did not have AC.
