It's hot y'all. Really hot. A record-breaking heatwave that descended on the Pacific Northwest over the weekend reached its peak Monday. Temperatures in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle soared to 113 and 106, respectively, topping previous all-time highs — some of which have been set just in the last week. ⁠ ⁠ Those are suffocating numbers for a region where many residents don’t have air conditioning: In Seattle, less than 50% of homes lack systems. And while a recent national survey shows close to 80% of Portland homes have AC, about half of them are window units, which provided considerably less relief than a central air system. ⁠ ⁠ "It's like a sauna in our apartment — it's so hot you can't even wear clothes," said Lilly Pelish, 28, who lives in southwest Portland. She said the temperature in her apartment was 110 degrees when she woke up Monday morning.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Visit our link in bio for the latest.⁠ 📸: Brian Hayes, @statesmanjournal⁠ ⁠ #pnw #heatwave #salem
