Extreme heat is on the way. Here is how to stay safe. Dangerously hot conditions are expected from Sunday morning through Tuesday evening, with high temperatures between 95 and 100 degrees across the Portland metro area, the Willamette Valley, the Columbia River Gorge, and surrounding lowlands. Overnight relief will be limited, with some nights staying warm, which makes it harder for your body to recover before the next hot day. Heat related illness rises sharply during events like this, and it can affect anyone. A few simple steps make a real difference: Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, even before you feel thirsty. Stay in a cool place and out of direct sun during the hottest part of the afternoon. Check on relatives, neighbors, and anyone who may not have air conditioning. If you do not have AC, use fans to keep air moving. Keep windows closed during the day and open them at night to let cooler air in, unless wildfire smoke has degraded the air quality. Most important: never leave children or pets in an unattended vehicle, not even for a minute. Car interiors can reach lethal temperatures within minutes, even with the windows cracked. Keep an eye on the latest forecasts and warnings, and look out for one another until this passes. Stay cool, Hillsboro. #HillsboroPolice #HillsboroOregon #ExtremeHeat #HeatSafety #PublicSafety
