Continuing our seemingly unending string of hotter than normal temperatures, today’s readings hit record-setting territory.

As measured at Denver International Airport, the Mile High City’s temperature topped out at 98 degrees today. That breaks the previous record high for August 17 of 97 degrees set in 2013.

Thornton was just a touch cooler with a high of 96.6 degrees.

This is the third high temperature record set or tied in Denver thus far this month. On August 9th the record high was broken and on August 11th it was tied.
