Heat wave records and tips to weather the “swelt” By Scott Sistek & KATU Staff Video As some forecasting models continue to suggest the upcoming heat wave could be a real doozy with multiple days near or over 100 degrees, let’s look at what this heat wave is up against, historically: The longest stretch of days at 100 or hotter was five days between July 13-17 in 1941. There was a four day stretch between Aug. 7-10, 1981, and four times we had three day triple-digit streak. The longest stretch of days at 90 or hotter is eight, set Aug. 12-19, 1967. There was also a streak of 7 days between Aug 3-9 in 1972 and between Sept. 4-10 in 1944. But arguably the worst extended heat wave was the one in August 1981. In the 13 day stretch between the 6th and 18th, it hit over 100 four times, including setting the all-time record high of 107 degrees — twice! Here is how that streak broke down, starting on the 6th: 99, 103, 107, 105, 107, 97, 87, 83, 90, 82, 86, 93, 92. It plummeted to 69 on the 19
