Lol your not the only one! I am just LOVING this 115* heat....[sarcasm off] Ok, Im not gonna lie, I chuckled when I read the beginning of this thread....upper 90's?!? Maybe 100? Whats funny is Im comfortable with the heat up to about 100 then its stupid. The heat in Colorado has never been unbearable, the summers there are why I am moving back. Travel around a while and you will see how awesome Colorado summers are, Ive spent many years in Colorado, 10 years in central Florida, and 4 years here in Phoenix not to mention various travels....Colorado is mild in comparison...and dry.

Smile Try Southern Cal weather..

If you hate changes in weather, Southern California is the place for you. After the last little bit of the yearly 8-12 inches of rain we get that starts in December and ends in February you move into a couple of weeks of spring and then....summer. Summer here lasts from May through November...people have been known to wear shorts on Christmas day. Late summer or as it's called in Denver "fall", is called fire season here. This is when you watch all that dry brush ("fuel") that hasn't seen rain for the past 8 months or more go up in flame, the sky turns dark and orange, ashes fall on your car and you are advised to stay indoors. Or if you are in the path of one of the "fire storms" you may be required to evacuate to a Red Cross shelter - usually in a local school. This is not an unusual occurance, but a yearly event. Last fire season our corporate office in Costa Mesa was closed early due to the enormous amount of smoke and ash in the air. I was 30 miles from the nearest fire and it looked like dusk in the middle of the afternoon. Currently there are over 700 fires burning in CA - mostly in Northern Ca because the whole state has had a heat wave. Last week in "The Valley", an area just north of LA, the temp hit 119. Oh, and we have something else you can relate to: Santa Ana Winds. These are winds that occur for days at a time during fire season and fell like a giant heater blowing across So Cal with wind gusts up to 70, 80 + mph, knocking down trees, signs, blowing over large trucks, drying up plants like an oven and of course making fighting those fires that much more exciting!

well, for the last week it's been raining here in the valley and I haven't heard a complaint yet. Everyone here wanted the rain and cooler weather, a few days ago we hit only 80° for a high in July! This weather only lasts until thursday, so a bright spot on this weather forum

We don't have much humidity here in Grand Junction most of the time but we have a few weeks of it in late summer and I'll tell you, it sucks! It makes the oppresive heat even worse for someone who is used to living in a high altitude desert with an arid climate.

Yesterday, even though the temp was a cooler 90 degrees because of the cloud cover, I almost felt like I was back in Virginia Beach. I prefer the hot sunny days over the cooler cloudy days because the hot dry heat doesn't feel so damn hot. Funny thing too about the cloudy days...there's no breeze unless a storm kicks up.

The heat wave is supposed to be record breaking in Denver. The are supposed to hit 100F or close to it for the next 4 days in a row.

I remember seeing a lot of homes that do not have A/C as supposedly they do not "need" A/C units in Denver's climate. The newer homes have them but they are still an option in most homes, not standard.

Just be glad you're not in Texas where 100+ with humidity is a daily occurrence for 1/4 - 1/3 of the year.
