For the second day in a row, the Mile High City has set or tied a record low temperature. The events certainly bring to mind the quickly approaching fall.
This morning, as measured at Denver International Airport, Denver’s temperature officially dropped to a low temperature of 47 degrees. This bests the previous record low temperature for August 19 of 48 degrees last set in 2002.
Here in Thornton we actually were a bit cooler as we dipped to 45 degrees, our coldest reading since May 30. This was also the coldest temperature on August 19 we have recorded in Thornton since ThorntonWeather.com came online in 2006.
Today’s record-setting temperature follows on yesterday’s record-tying low temperature of 47 degrees. Additionally, highlighting the extremes we experience here in Colorado, it was just the previous Saturday that we tied the record high for the date (98 degrees).
