Weather Eye: Our hot weather is likely to continue into next week

Wednesday’s high temperature as of 5 p.m. was 96 degrees and the 10th day this month with a high of 90 degrees or better. Today will be No. 11 and Friday No. 12. I think we will be at 90 or better through Monday before cooling hits again on Tuesday. August will roll in on a hot note Saturday.

Next week temperatures should be back to near normal Tuesday through Thursday, as weak weather systems move by to our north and switch the winds inland off the ocean.

If you wanted relief the coast was the place, although some areas on the Oregon beaches were hot. Tuesday, Brookings was 101 degrees and close to that Wednesday. Astoria was in the low 80s and the Long Beach Peninsula was in the 70s Wednesday afternoon before brisk northwest winds ushered in a fog bank and at 5 p.m. Ocean Park was only 59 degrees! That is nearly 40 degrees cooler than in Vancouver.

I mentioned here Tuesday our highs were jumping at 10-degree increments since Sunday. We won’t do that today but may rise a few degrees to the 100-degree mark if northwest winds slack off and we get a trickle of easterly winds. Sunday’s high was 66 degrees, Monday 77 degrees, Tuesday 87 degrees and Wednesday 96 degrees.

Our average mean temperature is 72 degrees for the month so far, nearly 4 degrees about average. Rainfall total in Vancouver stands at .27 of an inch.

The official outlook calls for continued above-average temperatures the first half of August.
