A second major heatwave is expected to arrive as soon as Friday as officials declare states of emergency and issue warnings
A sense of déjà vu hung in the air as people across Washington and Oregon prepared for scorching temperatures in the midst of the region’s second major heatwave this summer.
With temperatures in cities across the Pacific north-west expected to hit triple digits, excessive heat warnings were in place throughout most of Washington and western Oregon on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
Although the temperatures were not expected to be as severe as they were during the heatwave in late June – some areas exceeded 115F (46C) – several cities could break their heat records.
