Denver predicted to set record for one of the earliest 100-degree days

If you’ve thought it seems really early to be this hot in Denver, you aren’t far off. This week could be among record dates for heat in the Mile High City.

100-degree days in Denver aren’t extremely rare, 111 days with temps over 100-degrees having happened in the last 150 years, but to have one in mid-June is.

Right now, forecasters are saying there is a pretty good chance that Denver will hit 100 degrees on Friday, which would be the eighth earliest 100-degree day in the city’s history. Saturday also has a good chance to hit the 100-degree mark.

Could this be a sign that we’ll see another very hot summer? Maybe…last summer, Denver saw six 100-degree days, the third most in Denver’s history.
