Following the recent heat wave that affected Seattle and Portland, a second severe heat dome is forming over the Pacific Northwest, with temperatures poised to either match or exceed daily records on Monday and Tuesday. Seattle's records from June 22-24, previously set at 92 degrees Fahrenheit during the 1992 heat wave, are under threat. Portland recorded a high of 97 degrees in the first wave. Meteorologists from AccuWeather caution that those attending the World Cup match in Seattle face significant risk of heat-related illnesses as RealFeel temperatures approach 90 degrees. Health officials are advising residents—many lacking central air conditioning—to utilize cooling centers without delay.
