Denver, Colorado – Denver residents are in for an unrelenting stretch of dry, scorching heat as above-normal temperatures grip the region through Wednesday. Urban corridors and the eastern plains could see daytime highs nearing 100 degrees, with little relief expected for outdoor workers, commuters, and anyone without reliable air conditioning.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, the heat will be most intense from Monday through Wednesday, especially for communities along the I-25 corridor, the Denver metro, and the surrounding plains. Forecasted highs for these areas range from 88 to 100 degrees, with overnight lows offering minimal cooling. In contrast, the mountains and valleys will see milder temperatures, topping out in the mid to upper 80s.
The NWS urges residents to limit strenuous activity to early morning or late evening, hydrate frequently, and check on neighbors, pets, and anyone vulnerable to heat illness. Urban schools and businesses should prepare for increased air conditioning demand, and those without cooling may need to seek public facilities during peak afternoon heat.
This unusually dry spell will continue at least through Wednesday, with further advisories possible if the heat persists or wildfire risk increases.
