We knew the record would be broken, it was only a question of by how much and the results are in.

As measured at Denver International Airport, the high temperature in the Mile High City topped out at 99 degrees. These destroys the previous record high for September 10 of 93 degrees set in 2018.

Here in Thornton we were close to Denver’s mark but “only” hit 98 degrees.

Mother Nature just delivered another reminder that our long, hot summer isn’t over yet.

Here in Thornton, we were a bit “cooler” with a 95 degree reading at 1:49pm.

More heat is yet to come. Tomorrow may see highs a couple of degrees warmer than today. The record high for September 10 is 93 degrees set in 2018 and previous years so it is quite likely that record will fall as well.
