\"Record
Denver topped out at 102 degrees on June 24 setting a record for the date.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As officially measured at Denver International Airport, the mercury in Denver today topped out at 102 degrees at 3:35pm.\u00a0 This easily breaks the old record for June 24th of 100 degrees set in 2007.<\/p>\n

Here in Thornton we fell just shy of the 100 degree mark today as we topped out at 99.3 degrees at 3:55pm.\u00a0 This follows on 102.2 degrees on Saturday and 100.2 degrees on Friday.<\/p>\n

This makes it the third day in a row with Denver seeing 100 degrees or warmer temperatures.\u00a0 Only four other times since recordkeeping began in 1878 have there been three or more 100 degree days in a row in the Mile High City.<\/p>\n

Denver has recorded 100 degrees or warmer only 73 times including today.\u00a0 Weather forecasts currently call for 100+ degree temperatures for at least the first part of the week giving a chance that the current streak will continue.<\/p>\n
