McLaughlin is better known as Bishop Briggs, owner of one of the most soaring, powerful and exciting voices in indie music today. The rich tapestry of her intercontinental upbringing seeps into her work, blending the rich vocals and gorgeous instrumentation of gospel and soul with the booming dancefloor rhythms of trap and hip-hop.
Consequently, Portland experiences heat waves with temperatures rising well above 90 Â°F (32 Â°C) for days at a time, and sometimes above 100 Â°F (38 Â°C). On average, temperatures reach or exceed 80 Â°F (27 Â°C) 56 days per year, of which 12 days will reach 90 Â°F (32 Â°C) and 1.4 days will reach 100 Â°F (38 Â°C).
Portland has four distinct seasons, but none of them are extreme. Summer weather really starts in July and ends in September. Summer temperatures average around 80 degrees but do go over a 100 for one or two days a year. Overnight temperatures average around 60 degrees. This is a 90 day period that typically has very little (and sometimes none) rain. The summer is really one of the best parts about Portland.
