Hot temperatures continue Tuesday through the rest of the week in Denver and meteorologists are warning residents to take precautions to deal with the heat and poor air quality.

The National Weather Service in Boulder said the high temperature is expected to reach 95 degrees Tuesday in Denver. That’s about 5 degrees hotter than the average high for July 14, according to weather service archive data. The record for this date is 101 set back in 2006.

“Make sure to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks indoors or in the shade if you have to be outside,” the weather service said.

The heat risk across the Denver metro area is moderate on Tuesday, the weather service said, meaning it will affect people who are sensitive to heat and don’t have access to adequate cooling or hydration. It could also impact some health systems and industries.

The air quality will also be an issue Tuesday. The Colorado Department of Public Health has issued an Ozone Action Day Alert through 4 p.m. Tuesday for Douglas, Jefferson, Denver, western Arapahoe, western Adams, Broomfield, Boulder, Larimer and Weld counties.

The CDPHE said the air quality will impact people who are unhealthy or sensitive, primarily in the afternoon. The worst areas will be along the foothills in the western part of the metro area, between about Denver and north to Fort Collins.

Winds could get breezy this afternoon and evening in Denver, with gusts up to 34 mph, the weather service said.

Meteorologists expect high temperatures to remain in the low to mid-90s at least through the weekend.
