'Tomorrow will be probably similar,' Mass said. 'But the good news is, by the end of the week, we’re going to transition out to much more normal conditions with temperatures in the 70s.'
. “They got to around 100 degrees. And today, in Portland, it’ll be 105. That’s pretty, pretty warm there.”Mass stated the jump in temperatures is typical for Willamette Valley, Portland, and other areas of Oregon, as residents of those southern areas typically face significantly higher temperatures than those in the Puget Sound region, as was the case last year.
“One good thing is the nights are longer now than it was in June, so the lows will get down well into the 60s,” Mass said. “So it’ll cool off enough at night that cooler air will blow in, which is good. Tomorrow will be probably similar. But the good news is, by the end of the week, we’re going to transition out to much more normal conditions with temperatures in the 70s.
For July’s unexpected increase in temperatures, Mass deduced that an anomalous circulation pattern in the atmosphere created areas of warmer-than-normal and colder-than-normal July temperatures around the nation, with particular effects over the Pacific Northwest. Mass noted that there is no suggestion in theory and observations that such a pattern was provoked by global warming — just as there is little to no global warming influence on the Puget Sound’s most current heat wave.
