Only five days into the month of September and the heat has records falling left and right.

Today, at 2:05pm, the temperature at Denver International Airport where Denver’s official readings are taken, reached 98 degrees. This topped the previous record high for September 5 of 97 degrees set in 2013 and 1899.

Here in Thornton we were actually warmer with a high of 99 degrees coming at 2:58pm.

Today’s record comes on the heels of record highs on the 1st and the 2nd of the month.

The 100 degree high of the 2nd was also the latest 100 degree reading ever recorded in Denver and also the warmest September temperature on record.
