Already 110F at 12:55pm in Portland, OR on the way toward 115F+ later this PM. The previous all-time record, until this weekend, was 107F. This is now the third consecutive day, and likely most extreme day, of all-time record heat. #ORwx pic.twitter.com/NgMykr4GxO

A statement without presumptions. If grandma is living alone during extreme heat, check up on her! Preferably in person, as a call will get the response ‘don’t worry about me dear’. Meanwhile the AC is frugally low or off, and the concept of necessary hydration has never been an issue. Spread the word.
