Forecast: Scorching heat wave extended in US Northwest

William Nonluecha, foreground, and his friends sit in the shade, Wednesday, July 27, 2022, in Portland, Ore., as a heat wave envelopes the Pacific Northwest. Nonluecha, who lives in a tent, says the heat becomes unbearable inside it when temperatures rise and he stays cool by going to public libraries and riding public transit. "I got a flier yesterday … about the cooling shelter but it was too late," Nonluecha says.
