Colorado heat, 3pm in the afternoon and man, it is scorching!
This was from my truck sitting in the driveway at home, I think it cooled down a few degrees once I got rolling but hey, that is HOT either way.
I am not sure how many days we have seen in the 90’s so far, not as may as usual this year – but the 100’s? This may be the first.
Here are some stats for you: There has been a 385% increase in 100-degree days in Denver over the last 37 years.
On average, it only hits 100 degrees in Denver one day a year (although the average is two days at DIA), but those hot days are becoming much more common.
The weather station at Denver Central Park has been there for 75 years. Over the first 38 years, from 1948 to 1985, it hit 100 degrees just 13 times. Over the last 37 years, from 1986 to 2022, it hit 100 degrees 63 times.
That’s a 385% increase.
I think we need a pool!!
