Oregon Heat Waves

The following is an interactive map from the Oregonlive.com Projects about Portland Temperatures, 1938-2024. It was created with data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration by Mark Friesen of the Oregonian. 

 

According to the Oregonian, the graph to the right shows a breakdown of 90-degree days (or hotter) by decade. In the 2010s, Portland had 169 days at 90 degrees or above. This is more than any other decade on record.
