Records set and broken in one city. A more-than-century old record broken in another.
The entirety of the Northwest is baking under triple-digit heat this weekend, and Sunday was no relief from the heat for most of the region. Records in many cities were broken both Saturday and Sunday and were set to be broken again on Monday.
On Saturday, Portland had the hottest day ever recorded in the city, reaching 108 degrees Fahrenheit Saturday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service, just over the previous record for Oregon’s largest city of 107, a mark hit in 1965 and 1981.
Sunday, the city broke its record again, recording 110 degrees.
