It was ridiculously warm today, certainly something we would expect to see in early October, not November. The mercury readings resulted in Denver setting two records.

The high temperature, as measured at Denver International Airport, reached 83 degrees. This sets a new high temperature record for the date, besting the old record of 78 degrees set in 1931.

Also, the 83 degree reading sets a record high temperature for the month of November. The previous warmest November reading was 81 degrees on November 27, 2017.

Here in Thornton, we also topped out at 83 degrees. This was the warmest November 2nd and the warmest November reading overall in the 19 years this station has been in operation.

80 degree readings in November are a rarity. In fact, today’s is only the fifth in Denver since record keeping began in 1872.

83 – 11/02/2025
80 – 11/06/2021
81 – 11/27/2017
80 – 11/16/2016

It may be the end of September, but Mother Nature is intent on keeping the summer heat coming.

As measured at Denver International Airport, Denver hit a high temperature today of 92 degrees. This ties the record high for September 29 last set in 1892.

The Mile High City also tied the record for the warmest low temperature for the date. The mercury only descended to 61 degrees, tying the record mark last set in 1981.

Here in Thornton, we matched DIA with a high of 92 degrees. We were, however, a good bit cooler with a low of 55 degrees. At Stapleton, where historical Denver weather records were taken from 1950 to 1995, the high was 90 degrees and the low 56 degrees.

It doesn’t feel much like fall does it?
