Denver metro braces for extreme heat as near 100 temperatures expected Sunday
DENVER – The Denver metro area will heat up Sunday to near 100 degrees, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a heat advisory.
The advisory is in effect from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday for most of the metro area. Temperatures ramp up to near 100 degrees in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
The NWS advises residents to drink plenty of water, stay in an air-conditioned room, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
If you need to go outside, wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing and try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening.
Denver will open its currently operating rec centers during normal business hours to visitors and guests seeking relief from the heat. Denver Public Library branches are also open to the public during normal business hours.
The extreme temperatures will not only impact Father’s Day but should stick around for Monday, too. However, slightly cooler temperatures in the 70s and 80s return on Tuesday and Wednesday.
