The heat is on and the records have begun to fall. Today Denver set a record high temperature and it likely is only the first of at least a few records that will fall in the coming days.

As measured at Denver International Airport, the Mile High City’s high temperature today topped out at 98 degrees. That just tops the previous record high for the date of 97 degrees set two years ago in 2020.

In Thornton, we were actually a slight bit warmer with a high of 99 degrees.
