Today we were lucky - only 99 degrees in CO

[Writer]

This last week, we have experienced 100+ degree days. We're one mile in the air, and at about 40 degrees latitude. I've lived here for three years, and I have NEVER felt this type of heat since my days in Texas.

My A/C has been pumping quite a bit. We are thinking about installing a sprinkler system, but we don't know if we're going to get that much money back in value for our house.

Any thoughts?

way below what it has been.

2. For some reason it feels hotter today..

and the heat seems to be lingering longer this evening. My swamp cooler hasn't been able to keep up since about 10am.

At least we don't have 90% humidity.

3. We hit 99 also with 67% humidity.

At one point they said the heat index was 111. Tomorrow we are heading for 103. I hope the humidity drops, it is like trying to breathe through a wet wash cloth. Makes working a lot harder.
