Denver hit 85 degrees Wednesday — shattering the city’s previous record-high temperature for April 12.
It marked the second day in a row for 85-degree temps in the Mile High City, and the second day in a row for record-breaking high temperatures. The summer-like weather broke the previous record of 79 degrees set in 2018 for this date, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.
Just a week ago, Denver set a daily low record of 11 degrees.
These types of drastic temperature swings will become more common as the planet warms, climatologists say.
Denver hit a high of 85° for the second straight day in a row. This breaks the daily record by 6°! These back to back record highs come just a week after Denver set a daily record low of 11° on April 5th.
