Another high temperature record is in the books for the Mile High City. As measured at Denver International Airport, Denver hit a high temperature of 98 degrees. This ties the record high for August 17 last set in 2020.
Here in Thornton, we were actually warmer with a high of 99 degrees. At Stapleton, where historical Denver weather records were taken from 1950 to 1995, the high was only 93 degrees.
