Denver Public Schools installing much-needed air conditioning ahead of school year

Denver voters have passed several bonds to put much-needed air conditioning units into its schools. Last year, a final bond was voted on to equip the last remaining schools with these units. Denver is home to some of the oldest schools in the state, many built before air conditioning existed. Due to funding constraints, there are still dozens of schools in need of cooling. Doull Elementary has been on that list up until now. "This is one of the hottest schools in the district, which is why it was part of the first round," said Heath Bock, the director of construction for Denver Public Schools. Denver voters passed a bond in 2024 to fund the installation of air conditioning units in 29 remaining DPS schools without them. The project will run through 2028, with the bulk of construction happening over summer breaks. "We have 68 days over the summer to do millions of dollars' worth of projects," Bock said. Over the years, Denver schools without air conditioning have seen an increase in heat days and early releases due to high temperatures. "If it gets too hot in the school, it is not conducive to learning," Bock said. "It's like a snow day, only the opposite." That's why Denver communities joined together to create change, and why construction crews are working hard in some of the hottest conditions. "We are a part of the history of Denver," Bock said. "We are a part of the fabric of Denver, and this is what keeps us going. This is what keeps our students educated and our city alive." Doull as well as Ellis Elementary in Denver's Virginia Village neighborhood are the two schools that will return fully equipped with air conditioning this school year. Two other schools are having partial work done this summer and will finish up in 2026.

Northern lights could be visible in Oklahoma tonight. Here's how to watch

The night sky had a few more colors than usual, and in case you missed it, you may have another chance tonight. The northern lights are caused by solar flares that reach Earth. When the flares get close enough to Earth's atmosphere, the planet's magnetic field protects us from the high-speed electrons and protons. The magnetic field redirects the recent activity to the north and south poles, making it almost pertinent to view the lights immediately following the activity. While Wednesday, July 16, had a higher likelihood of visibility, another coronal mass ejection is set to strike late on July 17. Here's what to expect for Monday night's light show.

Sunday night's light show was more active than predicted for Monday night, but active levels are still forecast for tonight. According to the NOAA, geomagnetic activity is forecast to start at 6 p.m. CT. However, when the sun sets at 8:45 p.m., a peak is expected from 9 p.m. until midnight. The best chance of seeing auroras late at night is to look north between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. local time, and away from city lights. This far south, the lights are best seen with a camera, even the one that comes equipped with your smartphone. Although some maps and forecasts have predicted low visibility in southern states, some Oklahomans have still documented nights throughout the summer when they saw the lights in the late-night hours.

Southern China and Hong Kong Brace for Floods and Fierce Winds from Danas

Officials in southern China and Hong Kong warned on Thursday that heavy rain could bring flash flooding as the remnants of Typhoon Danas move across the region. The typhoon hit Taiwan's populous west coast on Monday, killing two people and leaving 600,000 households without power. It crossed the Taiwan Strait and made a second landfall in China the following day. It was downgraded to a tropical depression on Wednesday morning as it continued moving inland across China's southeast, dropping as much as 17.2 inches of rain through early Thursday. The storm is forecast to drop as much as three inches of rain per hour through Friday as it moves to the south and southeast, including over Guangdong province, which has a population of about 127 million people, China's meteorological agency said. Flash flooding, landslides and other disasters are possible, Guangdong's meteorological center said. Thunderstorms and wind gusts of up to 73 miles per hour, nearly as strong as a Category 1 hurricane, are possible, the agency said. In Hong Kong, the typhoon's remnants combined with monsoon rains further south will bring torrential rains and thunderstorms, the territory's weather agency said. The authorities there suspended schools for Friday and issued a red rain warning, the second highest, which signals more than 1.9 inches falling per hour. Gusts of 43 miles per hour were recorded on Sha Chau Island, near the city's airport, Hong Kong's meteorological agency said on Tuesday afternoon. 'Violent gusts may affect Hong Kong,' the agency said, and urged people to stay indoors. Torrential rain and thunderstorms are forecast to last until Friday, the agency said.
