After breaking the all-time record for the latest 90 degree temperature just last week, Metro Airport did it again on Monday. Previously, the latest date into the calendar year to hit 90 degrees was October 27—set earlier this year and in 1907.
Since October 26, six (out of a possible ten) record high temperatures have been tied or broken. Record highs will come within one or two degrees of standing record high temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday also. Record warmest low temperature records will also be challenged through Thursday.
This comes after a remarkably warm October, which ranked as the 5th warmest on record with an average monthly temperature of 74.2 degrees. The hottest October was in 1919 with an average temperature of 78.2 degrees.
