With cities across the U.S. experiencing some of the hottest summer temperatures on record, many people have traveled to places like Steamboat Springs with hopes escaping the heat back home.

While still experiencing its own hot temperatures, Steamboat has been a welcome change for people coming from places like Florida. For Bonnie Pinto, a first-time visitor in Steamboat, it’s been a relief “because the mornings are so cool and the evenings are cooler.”

Florida has been seeing highs in the low 90s for most of July, with the heat only feeling worse due to Florida’s high humidity. According to the National Weather Service, a dew point above 65 is where air begins to feel “oppressive” due to the moisture. The dew point recorded July 22 in Orlando was 75, increasing the impact of the 94-degree heat.

In contrast, on the same day Steamboat was recorded having a dew point of 38, well below the National Weather Service’s threshold for “dry and comfortable weather,” while the high was only 83 degrees.

Floridians aren’t the only ones coming to Routt County to escape the oppressive heat and humidity either. Vicky Buster and Naomi Smith, both from Macon, Missouri, voiced how nice it was to get away from the humidity.

“It’s not as sticky,” Buster said of Steamboat Springs.

Another visitor from Missouri said the area south of Kansas City was in drought and they had been experiencing temperatures in the 90s.

As for the kinds of activities people were taking part in, many mentioned the outdoor activities for which Steamboat is so well-known, such as hiking Fish Creek Falls and the Flattops, scenic mountain drives and exploring downtown. Both Buster and Smith said the city is “beautiful,” and a nice vacation spot with friendly locals.

Unfortunately, the high heat plaguing much of the country doesn’t seem to be letting up.

The Associated Press reported that Phoenix has set a record temperature streak after spending 19 days with temps of 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat wave hasn’t been isolated to the U.S. either, with some cities in Europe forced to close famous tourist attractions and companies in China ordered to halt outdoor work because of the sweltering temperatures.

Multiple scientific groups have labeled this summer as one of the hottest on record, with the World Meteorological Organization naming the week of July 4 as the world’s hottest week.

The causes have been identified as a mixture of human-produced climate change and the natural El Nino cycle, which causes temporary warming in the Pacific and can alter temperatures on a global scale.

For Steamboat, temperatures are expected to remain in the mid-80s, with a few isolated days projected to hit the high 80s. In Routt County, the high temperatures have had effects mostly on the Yampa River, as well as raising the fire risk after a wet spring delayed the drying of vegetation.
