It was a hot one indeed! We knew the potential was there for record-breaking heat this Labor Day weekend and indeed it came to fruition.

Denver’s high temperature today, as measured at DIA, topped out at 98 degrees at 1:17pm.

This not only set a new record high temperature for September 1 but it also marks the warmest temperature ever recorded in the Mile High City in the month September.

The previous record high for today, and for September, was 97 degrees set in 1995.

Here in Thornton, we managed to actually be hotter than DIA, topping out at 101 degrees.

If that wasn’t hot enough for you, wait till tomorrow as we may see today’s record setting readings broken.
