Not abnormal.

It's going to be in the 70s Tuesday of next week.

Seems to me most of August felt relatively cooler than "normal" this year. My recollection is that September starts off like summer (well actually it IS still summer) and by the end it's cooling off into the more pleasant 70s...60s if we're lucky. Very occasionally we might see a bit of snow. September and October are the most consistently nice months temperature wise in Colorado. In my opinion of course.

September often is still pretty summery and even hot. By its end, there is usually a noticeable change from its start when it comes to temperature. October is usually great.

We've gotten a bit of summer back recently.

I've notice down in Cos, we have been running 60-80% humidity most this summer. Not extreme, but a bit more than usual. Temps have been a bit cooler the past month, but I also suspect this has all been because of the unusually high amount of rain we've received. o that were typical May and June. However, what has been decidedly different has been dew points in the upper 50s to lower 60s on occasion that make it feel humid like Kansas.

Yes, I would agree with an earlier post about living in a traditional low humidity environment can make you notice changes more easily. I can notice a 20 point change in humidity. My wife, who didn't grow up here, doesn't.

ok, maybe I jumped the gun. It cools down around 5 here it seems. Great run this morning. Doesn't help that the weather looks ideal in DC, the place I just left. But hey, it certainly is comfortable here and I don't miss the humidity. Cools off quick in the afternoon.

Expected Overnight Low - 70

Even when it's hot here it's not oppressively sticky and miserable like the Texas Triangle. We've run our A/C about a half dozen times this year, and it's never been on overnight. If we were still in Dallas it'd be on 24/7 for at least 3 months out of the year.

I'll never again live in a humid climate. Breathing stale, recycled AC air 24/7 for 1/3-1/4 of the year sucks big time.
I have seen 97 degree heat indexes in Texas at 11 pm.

I didn't know what a heat index was until I left Colorado for college.

The odds of that happening here are slim-to-none. The air is too dry.
