The northwestern United States is enduring an extreme heat wave for the second straight summer, with this year perhaps less deadly but more prolonged.
The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for northwest Oregon on Thursday, with forecasts in some inland areas running as high as 110 F .
The June 2021 heat wave killed more than 100 people in Oregon, in addition to 619 in the western Canadian province of British Columbia. Officials in the region said many victims lacked air conditioning, which is less common here than in places with historically hotter climates. About 100 people took refuge in one Portland cooling center on Wednesday night, said Mark Meininger, part of the volunteer emergency team.
