A sizzling end to summer in the Mile High City! Following on Sunday’s record setting heat we followed suit again on Monday breaking another high temperature record.
The official high temperature as measured at Denver International Airport reached 94 degrees Monday afternoon at 1:38pm. This breaks the old high temperature record for the date of 92 degrees set in 1956.
Here is Thornton we just a slight bit cooler than the official high temperature as ThorntonWeather.com recorded 92.3 degrees as our high temperature.
The mercury would likely have climbed higher today were it not for some afternoon cloud cover.
Yesterday Denver reached a high of 96 degrees easily eclipsing the old record for September 19th of 93 set in 1980. The day also went down in history as the hottest home game temperature in history for the Denver Broncos and the highest temperature ever recorded in Denver this late in the year.
Tomorrow is the last day of summer but we won’t be breaking any records. Temperatures will become more seasonal finally as cooler air moves in from the northern plains.
