Are you serious?

Stay hydrated. Walk your pets early. Stay in the shade and wear a hat!

Every year it gets hot in August. 105 is a lot but last year there was multiple days at 102 so it is not uncommon. Good thing there are lakes and rivers all around. Tons of trees to sit under the shade. Make sure you have lots of water for your pets.

I still remember the day I moved to Eugene for grad school. Sept 1, 1987. High was 104F/40C. I remember stepping off the plane, walking down the stairs into the oppressive heat. I was questioning my sanity as I had never felt heat like that. Yes, I bought a window air conditioner for my apartment at Sears and had them install it.
