Headlines of this weeks heat wave: Burn Ban for Clackamas county due to hot, dry and windy conditions, Air Quality or Smog Advisory in effect through the weekend. People are asked to drive less. The Heat Advisory is in effect through Monday. 90 degree temperatures look likely through Tuesday. Typically, Heat Advisories are issued when the temperature and or heat index will reach 95 degrees or above for a period of several days. If the forecast holds true, Portland will have nine 90 degree days when next Tuesday ends. The annual average is 13 days. 90 degree temperatures are often reached into the month of September, so we could reach the yearly average, despite a cool start to our summer. Stay Cool!
