The cool summer mornings in the 50s and low 60s are one of the best things about living in Colorado. I turn on the attic fan for about an hour to get the house down to 67 or so, then close up the windows by 7:00 a.m. and it rarely rises above 72 on any given day.

I do the same. A whole house fan is a wonderfully efficient way to draw in the cool morning air and dump the hot air out through the attic vents.

A benefit of having a well insulated house with low E windows is that they retain the coolness.

With just a single window air conditioner in the family room and a fan, I can easily cool that entire floor even if the afternoon temps get into the 90s.

While it gets cool in Pueblo at night i still have to keep my central air on 24/7 this time of year as the highs are usually 95-105. But i love the heat!

I get up early and walk my dog in an open space with lots of trees and tallgrass near my house. We enjoy the cool mornings, the early sunshine, and listening to the bird calling out.

I am a little bummed that it's getting hot enough to need to turn my AC on. I prefer being able to open up the house and get fresh air.

No wonder so many people want to move here.
I found this string from a few years ago.

I feel the same way this morning.

My whole house fan is sucking in delightfully cool air.

When I read about the heat wave engulfing the rest of the country I'm so glad to be in Colorado.

and / or PNW (56F this AM) great summers, fresh wild berries for breakfast and steelhead for dinner.

Glad I have both options. (CO and PNW). Whole house fans serve me well. (No need for AC)

View is not too bad either.

We were only down to 70 or so this morning at 4:00 a.m. in Loveland as the heatwave continued. Warmest overnight/morning temp I remember in quite some time.

Then it is a good time to head for the Snowy Range (WY). We used to run up there for long summers afternoon MC rides ~ 3pm - 10PM.. 200+ days / yr the SR is not so pleasant to enjoy.

For a quick trip we would do the Poudre, or even Glen Haven. (Avoiding summer traffic to Estes Park) We often rode up the Buckhorn and over Storm Mt to Glen Haven. (no traffic!). Really great in fall during Elk Rut.

Yes, we get up to all those areas as often as we can. Do the Glen Haven trails around once a week, particularly the various routes up Crossier Mountain. Try to get up to Snowy Range at least once a summer as well as several trips up the Poudre. The partner works in Red Feather once a week, so the dog and I enjoy running up to Cameron Pass after dropping him off.

Luckily, a storm just blew through and cooled things down this evening!
