For a while, it appeared that the Vancouver-Portland area might escape a long-term heat wave in the summer of 2025.
Nope.
Sure, we’ve experienced three days in a row of 90-degree heat a couple of times this summer. But nothing compared to what is starting today, Friday, Aug. 22.
The forecast calls for six consecutive days of 90-degree plus, with a couple of 100-degree days.
Rod Hill of KGW TV and FM 101 KXL reported Friday morning that he expects it to reach 100 degrees in nearby Portland on Friday, 102 on Saturday, and 99 on Sunday. He also forecast that the next day in the 80s won’t be until Thursday, Aug. 28.
The Weather Channel’s website has 100 degrees in its forecast for Vancouver on Friday, and 98 on Sunday.
The Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency has a map where cooling stations are located: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1kBdSaFSvF4FdiRkzDxA6rpGz-l9FPPE&ll=45.72497057278664%2C-122.54998275&z=11
The City of Vancouver also notes that its water features along the Waterfront as well as at Esther Short Park are open.
C-TRAN buses will not turn away anyone who is heading to a cooling station, according to the city’s website.
Clark County has a page on its website with tips on how to deal with the extreme weather. https://clark.wa.gov/public-health/hot-weather-safety
While enduring this heat wave, remember, we are just three, four, or five months away from the potential for snow.
