Officially hit 100° (38C) in Denver yesterday for the high, first 100° day of the year (officially). For some unknown reason, they take the 'official' Denver temperature reading at Denver Int'l Airport, which is like 20/25 miles outside the city, it's completely ridiculous.
I circled where actual downtown Denver is and the airport is up in the upper right corner of the map. It's always hotter in the city than it is out in the middle of nowhere where the airport is.
We've had a really nice summer but it just got cloudy and is calling for rain this weekend, which makes sense cus I'm going to an outdoor wedding tomorrow
bloody wet
Hit 99° (37C) yesterday, 8th straight day on 90°+ weather...
After not raining for nearly 2 months, it's rained twice (at least a little bit) at my house in the last 36 hours
Air quality here is apparently worse than Beijing right now... getting all the smoke from the massive forest fires raging around the province. The sun and moon look red right now. Gross.
that's what we've been getting all summer GF...last night the air turned red before sunset. Cool to look at if you like living on Mars
Hasn't rained in over a month now and it's supposed to be sunny and about 90° and sunny all weekend
My lawn went dormant this summer from lack of moisture...almost every lawn is brown on our block. My Dad would not be impressed.
There's only one lawn that looks green (bright green) and it's the hot single Mom across the street. She waters her lawn daily. One night she put her sprinkler out after dinner and let it go until dark. I wonder who pays her utility bills? I can't afford to do that
Same thing here...we started the summer with a little more than 2 months of no rain. Then we had a period of about 10 days where it rained about every other day and it was nice, but then the rain dried up and it's been like this again for more than a month. We can't afford to water the lawn daily here either, it's in rough shape.
Yesterday, the 'greener grass' company did it's fourth and final treatment on our lawn. We're supposed to water it after the application to seal it in.
That's what I'm doing right now, because the best time to water in hot weather is supposed to be the morning. Our water bill is tied in with our electricity and recycling/garbage fees so it's the big utility bill. Bill was 188 with me here alone in July and not watering the lawns...so I'm fucked in terms of bringing the dormant grass back to life before winter. Either you water it heavily every two or three days in extreme heat or you don't do it at all.
I don't think I'm going to attempt to water the lawns after all. It's supposed to be 28-30C for the next few days and I can't water it daily in an attempt to revive the lawn.
Have to rely on Mother Nature, sorry Dad.
Light rain for now. The real fun will start in a little while, maybe tomorrow.
