Denver, CO, August 4, 2026 —
Denver residents endured a sweltering weekend as the city recorded new high temperatures, reaching 102 degrees Fahrenheit on both Sunday and Monday. This intense heatwave marked a significant departure from typical summer conditions for the region.
A welcome, albeit brief, change arrived on Tuesday with the passage of a cold front. This weather system brought cooler temperatures, with highs settling in the upper 70s and low 80s. The shift in weather also brought a slight possibility of isolated showers.

This pattern is expected to continue, with temperatures building throughout the weekend.
