PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — June 4. The hottest day of 2016.
Seven records were broken Saturday, including in downtown Portland, where there is a lot of Rose Festival activity happening.
And it’s only going to get hotter. Sunday is expected to be another sweltering day with a forecast high of 97. If we reach 97, that will break the record of 96 degrees set in 2003. The excessive heat warning continues until 10 p.m. Sunday, June 5.
