On a similar note to Alcibiades yeah, I am surprised at OSR and politicallefty defining 70% of households having AC as a low percentage of households, and AC as an absolute must have
Here in Spain (not exactly a cold place), even in the places with the highest AC penetration, depending on who you ask, 50-70% of homes have air conditioning! And like I say this is in cities like Cordoba, Sevilla or Badajoz, which routinely see temperatures over 105F multiple times a year (and over 110 at least a handful of times)
If you are one of the unlucky 30% who does not have AC under these conditions, sadly you just have to rough it out. If you can get even a fan that will do a lot to improve your quality of living during a heat wave. Full AC would be better of course but even just a fan is a big improvement.
In any case if anyone in Atlas is part of that unlucky 30% of Oregonians, take the usual precautions. Drink a lot of water, avoid going outside between roughly noon and 6pm, close your blinds/curtains during the day (especially those where the sun is hitting, so east-facing blinds in the morning and west-facing blinds in the afternoon), etc
