Denver sets weather record with 74 days at 90 degrees

Denver’s last week­end of sum­mer is going out with record-set­ting sum­mer temperatures.

The city hit 90 degrees Sat­ur­day for the 74th time this year, set­ting a record for the most ays at 90 or above, accord­ing to the Nation­al Weath­er Ser­vice in Boulder.

The pre­vi­ous record was set in 2012, when Den­ver expe­ri­enced 73 days with tem­per­a­tures in the 90s. This year, Den­ver also record­ed its lat­est 100-degree day on the cal­en­dar ever, on Sept. 5.

Mete­o­rol­o­gist David Bar­jen­bruch attrib­uted the record-set­ting year to an “unfor­tu­nate­ly dry sum­mer with what seemed like unre­lent­ing heat.”

“The dry­ness, out­side of that one quick glimpse of win­ter in ear­ly Sep­tem­ber, has quick­ly built back over the area,” Bar­jen­bruch said. “We just had a dom­i­nat­ing ridge of high pres­sure over the whole West­ern Unit­ed States this summer.”

This may not be the last time the mer­cury sur­pass­es 90 degrees, he said. Mon­day will be very warm with highs in the upper 80s. And toward the end of the week, Den­ver may have anoth­er shot at break­ing into the 90s.

“It’s not out the ques­tion, and that’s pret­ty late in Sep­tem­ber to be hit­ting 90 on a rou­tine basis,” Bar­jen­bruch said.

Tues­day marks the first day of fall, but the metro area may not get autum­nal weath­er for a while. Fore­casts pre­dict that Den­ver will see above-aver­age tem­per­a­tures going into ear­ly Octo­ber, Bar­jen­bruch said. That’s con­cern­ing because Octo­ber usu­al­ly brings downs­lope winds that increase the risk of fire dan­ger, he said.

But there is a sil­ver lin­ing: “The for­tu­nate thing about the heat, if you’re sick and tired of it, is the days are get­ting short­er, nights are get­ting cool­er and it’s only get­ting hot for a short­er peri­od of time dur­ing the day,” Bar­jen­bruch said.
