I remember moving to rural Georgia in the late 80s where central air conditioning wasn't in a lot of homes. Attic fans and occasional window units were the norm.
Once the upcoming troughs die and lift we might try to build the ridge east around 7/10
Our hottest month in record is august 2007 and our hottest average week is the third week of July . We are also way south, keep in mind these places in Canada at 50 north have sun angles in the low 60s right now. That’s our September sun angle lol. We have hit 100 in October before , we are definitely no where near out of the woods . Not even half way when it comes to the heat.
The ridge axises seem to be setting up further north in the summer sparing us the worst of the heat.

Been that way since the winter . Very interesting pattern , it has spared the Arctic however and been limited to higher latitudes south of the Arctic .
If we progress anything like the analogs we might just circle through this same PNW ridge through the next 30-45

We've only had a couple of really hot days so far this summer. Maybe we will get lucky with the pattern and not have a sustained heatwave.
I cannot even begin to phantom what implications that will have the electrical grids out there. Not to mention fires and people just downright overheating. They are not used to heat like that in The PNW.
I remember last summer we kept waiting for the heat ridge to move our way and it never did.

I don’t recall any big heat ridge last summer in the continental US , I do recall however what was likely the longest stretch of hours above 70 degree dews late July into august .
