Spokane, Washington: Unprecedented Western USA Heat waves slamming Seattle and Portland, Oregon, moved to Tuesday – pushing the electrical utility in Spokane, Washington, to warn that people will face a heavier power outage.
Intense weather that gave Seattle and Portland in a row of high-temperature records exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 degrees Celsius) is expected to subside in these cities.
But spokane inland is likely to exceed high temperatures Monday – record 105 F (40.6 Celsius).
About 8,200 utility customers in the Spokane Lost Power section on Monday and the Avista utility warned that there would be more rolling blackouts on Tuesday afternoon in the city around 220,000 people, with high temperatures predicted at 110 F (43.3c), which will have a record of all time.
Avista must implement intentional blackouts on Monday because “the electrical system experiences a new peak demand, and high temperature pressure has an impact on the system in a way that requires us to proactively turn off power for some customers,” said the President and Head of the Company.

“This happens faster than anticipated.” Customers on Tuesday must expect more “targeted protective blackouts” Tuesday, he said.
Height 117 degrees F (47 c) is predicted in Southeast Washington cities Richland, Kennewick and Pasco.
The highest temperature in the state is 118 degrees F (47.7 c), recorded in 1961.
American farm workers urged the Governor of Washington Jay Insplee to immediately issue emergency heat standards that protect all agriculture and outdoor workers in the state with the agricultural sector strong .
Standard of the current state of the current lack of UFW protection was first won in California in 2005 which has prevented death and disease from hot strokes, the union said in a statement.
Unlike workers in California, Washington state agricultural workers have no right to work shade and rest in the middle of extreme temperatures.
“I left today so I helped distribute water and information to cherry harvesters,” said Martha Acevedo, a wine wine worker from Sunnyside, Washington, said in a statement of trade unions.
“They struggle.
There is no shade, even cold water.” The garbage collector at Walla Walla began their shift at 3 o’clock in the morning instead of the usual 7am to beat the heat.
Seattle is cooler for temperatures expected to reach around 90 f (32.2 c) after registering 108 degrees F (42 Celsius) on Monday – far above the highest of all time 104 F (40 C).

President Joe Biden, during the infrastructure speech in Wisconsin, recorded the northwest as he talked about the need to prepare for extreme weather.
“Whoever believes you will turn on the news and see it 116 degrees in Portland Oregon? 116 degrees,” the President said, working in excavation on those who gave doubts about the reality of climate change.
“But don’t worry – there is no global warming because it’s just a figment of our imagination.” Heat waves are caused by what is described by a meteorological expert as a high pressure dome above the northwest and deteriorates by climate change caused by humans, which makes extreme weather events such as more likely and more intense.
The temperature has never been heard in a region that is better known as the rain, and where June has historically referred to as “jouary” for the cold drizzle.
The average high temperature of Seattle in June was around 70 F (21.1 c), and less than half of the city’s population had air conditioning, according to US census data.
