It is official – we have broken Denver’s 107 year old record of consecutive days with over 90 degree temperatures. Thursday marked day 19 in the streak, moving past the old record of 18 days set way back in 1901 and 1874.
At the current time, it looks like the 90+ degree heat will continue until Wednesday at the earliestso the streak could number around 24 days or so by the time it is done. Thornton’s forecast calls for 101 degrees Friday, 100 Saturday and 98 on Sunday so the weekend will be a hot one for sure. This gives us the potential to break Denver’s all-time record for August 1st and 2nd of 100 degrees (set in 1938 and 1878 respectively). Thankfully it doesn’t look like we will break the overall all-time Denver temperature record of 105 so you can consider that a bit of a silver lining. 🙂 Continue reading Record streak official.
