@KO6YQ@pnw.zone that 88° day in PDX 2 days ago came out of nowhere and all the weather apps on my phone were still showing a predicted high of 75° for hours afterwards. That is a case of the historic highs influencing down the prediction. A bad sign. But it's still early. The Rose festival traditionally has some of the hardest pre-summer rain in the first two weeks of June. If we see those rains earlier or not at all, then this summer might be brutal. In 2021 we had 3 days in late June: 108°,112°,116°.

@KO6YQ@pnw.zone it is. And the lack of rain. I don't recall having had to pull out the garden hose so early, one of my rain barrels is already empty. And no rain in the horizon. The water situation feels like end of May, or even July, but I don't have a record to confirm it.
