Colorado – Denver is preparing for a midweek heatwave, with temperatures expected to soar to 90°F on Wednesday. Residents are urged to take precautions as the National Weather Service warns of potential heat-related risks. The elevated temperatures are likely to persist through Friday, with minimal cloud cover and light winds offering little relief.
The city advises people to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Those driving on major routes, including I-25, should be especially cautious, as traffic and heat could create additional stress on vehicles. Ensure your car’s air conditioning system is functioning and monitor coolant levels to prevent overheating.
This unseasonable heatwave could also increase the risk of wildfires in dry areas. Local authorities urge residents to be cautious with open flames and avoid parking vehicles on dry grass. The heat is forecasted to break slightly by the weekend, with temperatures expected to drop into the mid-80s by Saturday.
Stay tuned for further updates as conditions develop, and make safety a priority during this extended period of high temperatures.
