Following on yesterday’s record high temperature, we repeated today with another, even warmer reading that broke the record for the date.

As measured at Denver International Airport, the Mile High City topped out at 81 degrees. This crushes the old record high temperature for March 16 of 75 degrees set in 2012.

Here in Thornton we were actually a little bit warmer at 82.6 degrees.  That is the warmest temperature we have seen since way back on September 27 of last year.

Yesterday Denver saw a high of 79 degrees (80 degrees in Thornton) which broke the old record for that date of 76 degrees.
