Another high temperature record in the books for summer 2021.

As measured at Denver International Airport, the Mile High City’s temperature topped out at 100 degrees today. This easily bests the record high for the date of 98 degrees set 145 years ago in 1876.

Here in Thornton, we matched the 100 degree mark. This was our fifth 100+ degree day of the year in Thornton, more than any other year in the past 15 since Thornton Weather came online.
