A large northward amplification of the jet stream has allowed hot air to creep up from the Desert Southwest. That combined with a blazing sun and nearly zero flow off the Pacific has promoted the record-setting temperatures.Look, Phoenix, when I left you, I expected you to respect my decision. This following me all the way up to Seattle shit - it's got to stop. Keep your fucking 103 degree days to yourself, buster.

Hot down here in Portland also. Humidity is double what it normally is when it's this hot. Only seen it hotter once when it was in the one oh teens in eastern Wash. in the early 1960's.
