Is Idaho a great place to live if you want to experience all four seasons? Maybe, but that's debatable, only because Spring basically didn't happen this...

Pools are still closed, float season hasn't started yet, so here are some ways to escape the record temperatures this week.

Squirrels might be onto something. It looks like they're dying, but really they're just trying to cool off by splooting.

Running out of the house to get the mail is an adventure this time of year.  It's so hot right now that our bare feet on sidewalks will make us do that quick tip-toe dance that kind of looks like we're trying to sneak up on someone, and also looks a little like Elaine's Seinfeld dance.  This just in -- hot concrete hurts the dog's feet too!

The experts say there's something we can do one hour after major sun exposure that will keep a horrible sunburn appearing.  This may come in handy this week with all of the high temperatures Boise has been seeing.

The last few weeks have certainly demonstrated it's summer in the Treasure Valley, and with triple-digit heat this week and next, the City of Boise has opened a Family Cooling Center.

We had one of the longest and heaviest snow-packed winters on record this year, so perhaps it's no big surprise that our summer has started out cooler than usual too.

With frigid temps across the Treasure Valley, some people are choosing to warm up their vehicles before they have to jump in and head to work. Let's be honest, going from the warm house to your toasty car is much more appealing than shivering until you hit the highway...

If it feels hotter than usual, it's true. Last month was the hottest June on record in Boise, and meteorologists don't see any signs of that changing.

The official high temperature at our Park Center studios today as 101, but it felt MUCH warmer outside.  I jumped out to my car just to check, and in the shade, it was 107.
