A surprisingly chilly morning here! Any odd weather on your end?

As you know, I have been swimming pretty much every day over the past week or two. My knee feels strong, and I think the surgery was successful. The high temperatures here were in the 90s F for several days. Great swimming weather. Then they dipped to the mid-80s, still good swimming weather.. This morning I went to get some groceries at about 8 AM. I wore my typical shorts and flip flops. It was hecka chilly out! I would guess it was about 59 F. To make things worse, Safeway had (apparently) already turned on its AC. I froze in there as well. I am now safe at home. The temperature has risen to the 70s F, which is always enjoyable. I will check now to see if it will be swimming weather later this afternoon. Does the weather ever play tricks on you?

In Colorado? The weather is tricky most of the time. Today it's currently 92 with forecast of 100 both today and tomorrow.

@teamfreak16 Are the fires "under control"?

@TheHorse - It's dry today, so minimal. But we've got smoke from all the wildfires. I can barely see the mountains for the haze.

Glad your knee feels better, pretty typical here but a bit warm for this time of year.

Wow!! That was a surprise, huh?? Still hot and sticky here. Feels like 103 right now but we may get a shower or little thunderstorm before the afternoon/evening is over with.

It is warming up here now. I think we have made it past 80 F.

Well, yesterday it was 104 F until about 4pm when we had a sudden storm that dropped us to 72 degrees. Of course, today it was back in the 100s, but yesterday’s brief reprieve for a few hours was wonderful.

There have a few brief showers in my area in the afternoon which has brought down the temperature a little bit lower.

The weather was on my side today, I got my groceries delivered with the sun shining, I put them away and the thunder boomed and heavy rain fell but it waited for after the groceries were delivered,

The temperatures here have dropped over the last few days. We're supposed to get more showers today.
