106-year-old temperature record falls in Colorado on toasty December day
Tuesday turned out to be a toasty day in Colorado and according to the National Weather Service, Denver got so warm that it tied a daily temperature record set 106 years ago. Meanwhile, a little farther south, Colorado Springs set a new record.
According to the NWS, a temperature of 67 degrees was recorded at Denver International Airport, with that announcement made at about 2 p.m. The last time it reached 67 degrees in the Mile High City on December 19 was in 1917.
While Denver tied its daily temperature record, Colorado Springs surpassed a daily temperature record set during the same year. On December 19, temperatures climbed to 67 degrees in Olympic City, USA, breaking the record daily high of 64 degrees that was set in 1917.
The National Weather Service has called for warmer-than-normal temperatures to close out the month in the Centennial State. Could more records fall? We’ll have to wait and see.
