On Sunday(14 May 2023), an unusually hot Mother’s Day that smashed temperature records from Astoria to Portland and Eugene to Troutdale, people flocked to the Salmon Street Springs fountain in downtown Portland to cool off and celebrate.
Although many people have appreciated the unusually high temperatures, experts have cautioned Oregonians to remain vigilant in their efforts to prevent heat-related illnesses. Because of the relatively high nightly temperatures expected to persist for the next several days, some homeowners may be unable to find adequate relief inside their houses without air conditioning.

“This is when we start to be more at risk,” Dr. Ann Loeffler, acting health officer for Multnomah County, said on Sunday morning.
No deaths have been attributed to the three days of 90-degree temperatures in Multnomah County as of 6 p.m. on the third day of the heat wave. Sunday afternoon found Sara Bernal at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, where she sat on a seat in the shade of a tree and fed her infant.
“It’s a little uncomfortable, sure,” Bernal, a native Oregonian, admitted. But with the recent downpour, things are looking up. Along the Willamette River on Sunday, families and sweating parkgoers congregated at the Bill Naito Legacy Fountain.
On a picnic blanket in the shade, Preyonna Allen watched her children play in the fountain. She praised warm weather, saying it allowed her to let her kids play outside without worrying about overexposure.
βIβve got about 10 fans at home, and they just donβt work,β Allen said. βI donβt like taking my kids to the beach because Iβve got little ones. We come here every summer.β
Riverfront beaches in the Portland area tempt swimmers on hot days, but the Columbia, Willamette, and Sandy Rivers are dangerously frigid.

At Portland’s waterfront, Sydney Waters sat by the Bill Naito fountain while children played nearby. Many Portlanders’ feelings about the present weather were reflected by Waters.
βItβs too wet. Itβs too cold,β Waters said. βThen itβs too hot.”
