Late June and it's still chilly during the northern Colorado "June gloom" that's traditional around here.

It'll break any day now, temps will shoot into the 90s and a few weeks after that we'll start getting the usual afternoon thunderstorms.

Sister is in Denver. She was pretty happy she missed the week of 100 degree temps here.

It's been nice here, just touching the 90s some days. With the low humidity it's not bad at all. People don't believe that I don't have central air but how much do I really need it if it's only hot for 6 weeks of the year?
I never had air conditioning from the 50s-80s. Had fans in the windows.
Even here in NW Florida, we only got a window unit in the late 70's when Granny had a stroke and came to live in the poolroom. We had a block house with lots of window fans.

Yesterday and the day before we started the day with huge thunderstorms. (the river came up a foot, but has leveled back off now) Today the rain is supposed to wait until the afternoon. At 0820 it's fair, 79F with 91% humidity. Forecast high low of 87/69F with 50% chance of rain today, 15% tonight and 50% tomorrow. This is the first forecast low in the 60's. I guess it's possible. This morning's low was 70.5F. I stayed at the riverhouse and did not have to shower before bed for cooling purposes.

Well it went and got hot up here in northern Colorado; it hit 100 today and it's looking to do more of the same for the rest of the week.

But at least it's a dry heat!

91% RH?! If you wear swim fins and water wings, can you fly?! Or do you break a sweat just thinking about moving? I mean, damn bro!

I've cut grass the last two mornings. Yesterday it rained early, so I had to wait for it to dry out a bit. Didn't kill me either day. But then I only cut one charge worth on my e-mower. And with thick grass that's less than an hour. Days when the rain skips us gets hot, but on rainy days it's not too bad.

At 1035 it's partly cloudy, 86F with 72% humidity. Forecast high low of 88/71F with 30% chance of rain today, 20% tonight and 25% tomorrow.

Had some rain and even possible flash flooding Saturday in NoCo but more importantly it killed the heat wave! It was nice Saturday night and all day yesterday. Even now it's still nice n cool this morning.

We had our usual afternoon thundershower. I napped through it, so it must have not been too bad.

At 2005 it's fair, 78F with 92% humidity. Forecast low of 71F with 10% chance of rain tonight, 50% tomorrow and 10% tomorrow night. I've been waiting to walk until 2200 every night. It's a little cooler, And a lot less traffic when I'm forced to road walk.

Hi Ttystikk - good to see you alive in the current climate conditions.

The weather in your home country is very dependent on the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO).

https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/elnino/lanina-faq

Right now, (in a La Nina phase) you should actually have wetter and cooler conditions in northern Colorado. The next temperature records are more likely to follow in the coming El Nino years.

I suspect that as an old seasoned water cooler against dry heat, you have the right antidotes at your disposal.
BTW. - I even suspect that global warming is caused to a not inconsiderable extent by the lack of water cooling on global land surfaces (not just by CO2 emissions).

Breaking news. It did not rain Sunday or Monday on the sandhill. We did get a passing shower today. So far for the month. 2 days with no rain. 14 days with rain.

Not too bad out tonight. There is a cold front stalled in south Alabama and we are getting some nice cool breezes from it. I did closer to the five end in my nightly 3-5 miler. At 0120 it's clear, 74F with 94% humidity. Forecast low of 71F tonight and a high of 94F (with 50% chance of rain) tomorrow.

We hit 96.somethingF on the first day of fall. According to the TV weather guy, that was a record. Today it's not so hot. At 1050 it's sunny, 82F with 57% humidity. Forecast high low of 87/62F with no chance of rain until the hurricane gets here Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Lows are going to stay in the low 60's for the next 10 days.

Little chilly at nights this week but next looks nice. Might be able to get another 2 weeks on the tomato plants Roses did pretty good but I had to dose the hell out of them with sprays and granuler insecticide/fungicides.
