Highest and lowest temperature in your city this summer

[§AB]

Just imagine how cold it would be further north along the coast, like near SF or something.

I don't have to imagine, I grew up about 25 miles east of SF where during summer it would be 95 where I was then I would go to SF and it would be 65 AND windy usually. The coast in Northern CA is beautiful but very chilly much of the year, don't expect anything over 65 degrees for 95% of the year. The weather along the Northern CA coast sucks in my opinion, which is probably why few people live along it. Some of the towns along the coast farther north have never exceeded 87 degrees ever! After living in San Diego I realize I don't like anything below 66-70 degrees anymore, which is why I want to move to FL for a few years to see if I can handle the heat and humidity there.

I've heard alot about that infamously cold Eureka. That's a climatic horror story.

I just can't fathom how people can live there. It must be the most boring climate on Earth, cold year round, foggy, no thunderstorms, no humidity, no snow, no extreme heat. I'd rather be in Winnipeg!

The Great Ocean Road coast of Victoria has a comparable climate, except about 5-10F warmer on average in summer with regular bursts of day and night heat.

Highest 116? That's the all time record high for my town.

I got this data from here: National Weather Service - NWS Portland

I could've just not typed all this manually but what the hell...

Keep in mind though Portland is at sea level, so once you get some elevation here (as little as 300-500 feet), the temperatures can get more extreme...

it's ugly, but it's still warmer than Eureka in summer (72 vs 64).

But here's the worst of all:
