The National Weather Service predicted record heat in Denver Saturday. As of Saturday afternoon, not only had a new record been set, but the city had officially recorded its latest day of 100 degrees or hotter since record-keeping began.
The National Weather Service’s Boulder office tweeted at 3:14 p.m. that Denver had reached 100 degrees, breaking the high-temperature record for Sept. 5, a 98-degree mark set just last year.
The mercury did not stop climbing there. By 4:40 p.m., the temperature had ticked up to 101 degrees, according to weather service, a new record high for the entire month of September.
Sept. 5 is the latest calendar date on which Denver has experienced triple-digit heat, breaking another 2019 record, the weather service reported. Denver reached 100 on Sept. 2 last year, the previous latest date.
100° in Denver! This is the latest date Denver has hit 100° breaking the record set last year when Denver reached 100° on September 2nd. This ties the monthly record high and breaks the daily record which was set last year at 98°. #COwx pic.twitter.com/Cq4qPds9Dq
