sorry - 75F and beautiful in Portland today (and all week)
Of course my friends back in Raleigh & the east coast et al aren't happy to know that when I remind them. They'll be laughing at me again in December though haha.
The weather in Portland is the exact reason we are trying to move there! I'm looking forward to that move when it happens! Just trying to stay indoors as much as possible right now! :O)
How do you figure? According to your map the southwest is the hottest.
Check the timestamp on the map...it's a live-updating image (essentially current time), so what you're seeing now isn't what it was when they posted it.
We were the hottest back at the time of the original post. Of course, it was just before noon our time when the post was made and thus still only 9-10 AM out west, so they hadn't had a chance to get fully warmed up yet.

It's pretty amazing here now but missing the sun from November to April is pretty tough - think twice if you're a sun worshiper. My wife is from Raleigh and she just about had it here in March, the constant rain and clouds are tough to deal with. But I grew up in Detroit so I'm just thrilled not shoveling.
It is funny how people think that the suicide rate would be higher in Washington State due to the weather. Fact is they rank 35 and North Carolina ranks 27. Guess we just fall out of those windows more because they are open all the time.

I didn't realize that. Thx
It was funny watching the news last night when they said we are in for a cool down into the mid to upper 90's next week.

Thank you for the, "Fair Warning"! Lived in AZ for the first 40 some years of my life, then TX and now the Raleigh area and believe me, I know HOT! I simply love drizzle and rain so I'm ready to tackle all that Oregon can give me.
Dry Heat! What planet are you from, this is worse than the tropics, and I've spent plenty of time in the tropics to know? Dry heat is when the dew point is somewhere well south of 50, not ~ 70 and above. With temps in the triple digits, dew points above 70, and humidity above 75% this is the armpit of America IMO, especially the past two summers.....please take me west of the Rockies..
When I posted this post - it was 97º in Durham and 29% humidity - no need to be snarky - I was trying to make light of it, 'armpit of the south' as you say or not.
Summer heat brings out the best in folks...
