Denver breaks record high temperature for October 11

Record setting high temperatures in Thornton.Temperatures this weekend were more akin to what we expect in August than what we normally see in the second week of October.  That bears out with the fact we broke the all-time record high temperature for today’s date.

At 1:46pm the temperature at Denver International Airport, Denver’s official station, topped out at 87 degrees.  This easily bests the previous record high for October 11 of 85 degrees recorded in 1996 and 1975.

Here in Thornton, we matched the 87 degree reading at 2:28pm.

The extended forecast does provide for cooler temperatures for the rest of the week, however they will continue to be a good bit above average for this time of year.  Get the extended forecast here.
