24 Pics From Portland That Show Just How Hot The Heatwave Is
Please stay safe and hydrated, people!
It’s crazy hot right now around Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Summer had just begun, but the heatwave was so unbearable things are literally melting and changing shapes under the sun. In fact, Canada broke the record with Lytton’s peak record temperature at 115.9 degrees Fahrenheit.
But what’s even scarier is that summer had just started – it’s supposed to get hotter by late July!
So many people are already struggling under this heat, and it’s not going to end anytime soon. People are sharing just how crazy hot it is out there from melting stuff to cracking asphalt roads. Also, please stay safe and make sure to bring your pet inside and provide them with refreshments during the heat!
It is really home to some really extreme weather conditions now!
