Other cities experienced record-breaking temperatures on July 24: Boston at 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) and Providence, Rhode Island at 98 degrees Fahrenheit (36.6 degrees Celsius), the New York Times reported.
Historically temperate parts of the country, like cities across the Pacific Northwest, weren’t spared. Portland, Oregon experienced six days over 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) that month. At least seven people in the area died as a result of the heat.
