long-lived Typhoon Dolphin approaches China last night (that is, daytime, for that time zone,) with something like category 1, 85mph (75 kt) The HWRF shows this was a very low pressure, so maybe winds of cat 2 or better were gusts?

Fort Collins had the hottest July on record with 77.5 average temperature and two days over 100. July 26 was an absurd high 101 low 67 with a trace of rain. That's too warm for the nighttime.

It was 102 in Fort Collins-Loveland airport 97.5 at Fort Collins weather station The forest fire smoke doesn't seem to want to leave Colorado. Near-surface smoke and air quality have been probably up and down these days. I told you guys a long time ago there would be fire problems. I didn't know if Colorado would have the worst fires. Apparently Colorado hasn't had the worst fires. The smoke and fire has happened in the Oregon and Washington for many days. I think I saw there were 4 fires by Spokane, with suburbs being destroyed, reported on the news.
