| How Many Days Over 90 Degrees In Denver This Year |
A Summer of Sunshine...or Was It?
This year started out a bit strange, weather-wise. Denverites were pulling out their parkas in June, while whispers of a "perma-spring" filled the air. As of early July, the city had seen a measly handful of days hitting the 90-degree mark. We were on track to break some kind of record...for the fewest heat waves ever.
But then, as if Mother Nature flipped a switch, the heat rolled in like a runaway tumbleweed. Suddenly, those dusty fans in the back of the closet were getting a workout, and ice cream sales were soaring.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
The Great Heat Wave Redemption (Hopefully)
Meteorologists are predicting a scorcher of a July, with temperatures potentially reaching the upper 90s and even flirting with the dreaded triple digits. So, buckle up, Denver! It looks like we're making up for lost time in the heat department.
On the bright side, all this sunshine might be perfect for finally ripening those tomatoes in your garden. On the less bright side, you might want to stock up on sunscreen and perfect your sprinkler-dancing technique.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
So, How Many 90-Degree Days Have We Had So Far?
That, my friends, is a number that's still under construction. But with July's toasty forecast, it's safe to say the count is climbing fast. Stay tuned for updates, because this summer in Denver is shaping up to be a wild ride (hopefully not on a runaway hot air balloon).
