Holy cow, 80 ° feels cool.

[230RN]

Triple digits today, later in the afternoon I took a look at my outside thermometer, saw it was 80° stepped outside, and it felt actually cool.

Had my AC down to 82°, went in and shut it off.

Two power gitches this AM, and a power loss for  an hour around 5:00PM ish.  They had announced the possibility of rolling blackouts about a month ago, so I guess that was what it was.

And His Presidentship is pushing us all to go to electric cars?  Honestly, is he just surrounded by idiots?

[Bogie]

Not idiots.
 
Believers.
 
Which is WAY more dangerous...

[MechAg94]

82 on the AC?  What is your humidity there?

[230RN]

Right now it's coming up to 40%, can't recapture what it was earlier in the day, but in general, Colorado has pretty low humidity.  Nose-pickin' low. Eyeballs shrivel up low.  Small dead animals mummify before rotting low. Beef jerky is wet low. Toweling off after a shower is not necesary low.

The generally westerly air currents drop a lot of moisture going over two major mountain ranges..

If I did this right, humidity is the green line, third graph down:

I see Monday the humidity will get down to 11% around 4PM.

ETA  OK, 31%.  They must have revised it between the time I looked at it and now.

I live in St. Louis. Three good-sized rivers... I'm within about 5-10 miles of each.
 
I leave my new high-tech AC on "energy mode" during the day, at about 75. Whole small house is pretty livable. At night, I turn it to polar mode, about 67 degrees, shut the bedroom door, and achieve a north pole nirvana.

Here we haven’t even tickled 80 for a bit.  Had 1 day that might have approached 90, then it promptly dipped back to the mid-60’s.  It hit high 70’s today.

[Nick1911]

I was in Colorado for Independence Day  The weather was wonderful - highs in the low 80's, and dewpoints in the 40's.  Really delightful.  I did some light work and realized afterwards that I wasn't drenched in sweat. Course then I had to come back to Kansas City - when I arrived home the temperature was 93 and the dewpoint was 74....

[RoadKingLarry]

We're forecast for a stretch of 100° F or higher for 8-10 days in a row starting a week from today but I will be surprised if we don't break 100° before the end of this week.
I am not looking forward to that. They are predicting relative humidity levels a bit lower than typical for this time of year though, mid 30% range for afternoons.

It was only 69° this morning at 0630 when I went out to pick blueberries, pleasant enough but it didn't last long.

[K Frame]

Saturday it didn't get much above 70-72.

But the humidity for the day was around 100%.

It was god awful walking Seren.

That makes sense.  I haven't seen it cool off here at night much, but humidity is pretty high here by comparison.  I think 60% would be dry down here. 

I spent a short time working near Las Vegas.  It wasn't oppressively hot at the time, but the humidity got down to 6% one day.  It took a few days to get to where I didn't feel hamstrung by the dryness.  Contrary to many who like the dry weather, when I was driving back into Texas, it felt real good to finally feel the humidity on my face as I got into central Texas.  Helped that everything was green also.  There was no grass around Las Vegas.  I think I will let others worry about desert survival.

It's been in the triple digits here for the last 15 days, the 10 day forecast is calling for more of the same.

A couple/three years ago we fell one day short of the record for consecutive triple digit days.  I was disappointed to get that close - after being that miserable - and not at least tie the record.

I'm hoping to not reach that level again.

[RoadKingLarry]

88° F @ 2150 local, 56% humidity. Hit 99° officially today I saw 104° in the Jeep temp readout when I went to town about 1800.

[Cliffh]

There was a recording on the machine when I got home tonight.

The water company is instituting severe water restrictions.  (Their word, not mine).  No outside watering except for pets & livestock.

The electric company has warned of possible rolling blackouts.

Looks to be another fun summer.

[HeroHog]

Triple digit heat here as well, in the next 10 days, our few "cool" days will be 95f. Got in the SUV last week to an outside temp if 110. Leather seats get rite toasty!

[Cliffh]

There's a 10% chance of rain showers on Weds....

[RoadKingLarry]

We are currently in a record "dry spell". Driest 30 day period (from June 11 to July 10) in 100 years. No sign of that letting up anytime soon either.

Forecast calls for 99-102 over the next week, then it drops into the mid-90s. It's expected, as it's our hottest time of the year here with the lows not dropping below the 60s. The days at this latitude start to rapidly shorten in August, so temps somewhat moderate. Even if it hits 100, it's for a very short time at the end of the day, and lows are back into the 50s, which seems to always make a big difference for how the day feels.
