donsutherland1 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 A period of extreme heat will affect Phoenix and Tucson this week, peaking on Wednesday and Thursday. Daily record highs will fall and the August monthly records will be challenged. The long-term August trend for Phoenix is hotter and drier.

We've been so dry here in the Hebgen Basin/Yellowstone area. I had a feeling this post would put a voodoo curse on us. The view from here this afternoon.

Chinook Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Some smoke finally came in to the Front Range. Over here in Ohio, I've had high-level haziness for several days, and decreased air quality on Monday/Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I'm ready to not wake up to temps in the 70s. Save that crap for the east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been able to open windows and turn a big fan on most nights, but last night the temp went down to 68 at 11 PM but rose after that, 73 at 6 AM. Stuffy. One of many reasons I don't live in AZ.

I hope Phoenix got some monsoon rains at some point this summer, because 116/28 is very hot and dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COCORAHS agrees with most of the Denver Metro receiving a trace or less over the last 3 days. We got a trace. Incredible how the forecasts have busted low so much, and so consistently, the last several weeks within the 470 circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Denver reached 90° for the 40th time this year. Its warming climate has seen an explosion of years with a high number of 90° or above highs. The new regime of far more frequent 90° or above highs commenced in 2000. 2025 is on track for 50 or more such days. An Ed Hawkins-style warming stripes visualization of annual 90° days is below. Note: Both charts are for 1872-2024, as the 2025 total is not final. The outcome is consistent with Colorado's warming summers (0.2°F per decade over the historic climate period and 0.3°F/decade since 2000). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
