re: The Roasting of the Cascades: Historic Heat Wave for the Pac NW This Weekend

Supposed to be 110+ tomorrow and I work from home with no ac. It's going to be brutal. Usually I can open everything up at night to cool it down and then close everything up. Never could justify ac in the past because that worked well the few weeks out of the year that it was necessary. I'm going to be sweating like a pig on these zoom calls and running on no sleep.

Don't you have ceiling fans in your homes?
You could also buy a standing fan/table fan to keep cool.

One in the master. It's a 3 story townhouse style place, so the bedrooms and office on the top floor feel like 90+.

I have a couple of fans that will be pointed directly at me all day. Better than nothing, but that top floor is so hot regardless.

have three fans on plus a portable ac unit in our bedroom, that’s where me and the fam have camped out the last two days
don’t know why hardly anyone doesn’t have a portable ac unit, shite that’s the first thing i purchased during my first summer here. now because of this heat wave many are wanting one but places all over are sold out and the ones on marketplace are being sold top dollar
and i don’t know if it’s a PNW problem but the mosquitos in the summer where i live (whidbey island) is nothing like i experienced and just makes life here more frustrating at the moment.

Another thing you don't see a lot of.
I installed ceiling fans everywhere in my house.

I don't care where I live, if it has the chance to get above 80 at all, I'm going to have a couple of window units stashed back somewhere. You pay for them once, clean them when you take them out for the winter, and they don't eat anything when they are packed away.

I’m a northwest (west of the Cascades) native who never lived with an AC until two years ago. Used it about 10 days total over those two summers. Luckily I’m currently on my annual Cooperstown trip, so not using it now. I told my sister to come over and take it, and smartly she did.

I'd get a kiddie pool fill it full of water and ice. Goodluck

It’s been dry. You or a neighbor has stagnant water somewhere. Hunt down source and drain it. It shouldn’t have been bad prior to this and the current spell = mosquito death camp.

Canada also set a new national high temp record today, 115.9° in Lytton, B.C.
I'd have to just call in 116°.

You aren't poor.
Invest 400 bucks next year and sleep in peace.
I've got 2 window AC's for sale.....
Your sanity will cost you 500 bucks.

It gets above 80 here some and we don't have AC. Was really regretting it two weeks ago during the day because the house got hot. The thing is, it still got into the 40s at night. It's when it doesn't dip into good sleep temps that it gets dangerous. The duration and the extremely high low temperatures are what kills people in heat waves.

mosquitos have always been a problem here, our house sits a few hundred yards from marsh waters
it’s so bad there is a guy going around spraying the front of the yards in the neighborhood every week which helps, albeit very little

Dig a pool deep enough to maintain water, let loose feeder goldfish, profit.

Yep. July 4 is usually the date the temps start to head back down, precip picks back up here in SE. Today was the first day I felt warmth.

Has it actually stopped snowing/raining with this ridge up your way?
I know you got a ton of snow up your way this winter.

As a kid I raised rabbits. The back part of our land where we had them had a mosquito problem no matter what we did. So, we took a big, metal cow trough and filled it with water, got a few water lilies, and put in a few goldfish. Those frickers did cut down on the mosquitoes, and got big as hell on the rabbit food and whatever else we fed them. Hell, it got cold early one year and the water in the tank froze solid. We figured they were goners, but it started to thaw and they just went right back to swimming. Damndest thing to a 12 year old me, zombie goldfish.

Hard to believe Canada (116) has seen a hotter temperature on record than Dallas (113). And Portland is getting really close.
It’s the drought out west that’s cranking the heat up. Some people laugh at the thought of “climate refugees” but that is actually happening with Cali transplants fleeing east due to fires, drought, crazy heat waves.

The smart folks will study how to build a redneck AC with an ice chest pvc, small fan, and ice. Problem solved.
