One way we track the heat here in Denver is by adding up the number of 90-degree days. Meteorologist Cory Reppenhagen took a look at those hot stats.
DENVER — Denver could tie or break at least three daily heatThe record of 100 degrees, set back in 2022, is likely to stand. Triple digits are within the realm of possibility but the current forecast is for the temperature to peak at 96 degrees.The record of 101 degrees, set back in 1971, is in jeopardy of falling. The current forecast is projecting a tie.The record of 100 degrees, set in 2003, is also likely to get tied or be broken. The current forecast is 100 degrees.
As for the hottest temperature ever recorded in the state of Colorado; that appears to be safe. It hit 115 degrees at John Martin Reservoir in Bent County near Hasty on July 20, 2019. The highest forecast temperature with this heat wave is 105 degrees on the western slope. If it does reach a streak of two consecutive 100-degree days, which seem very likely at this point, it would only be the 15th time that's happened in Denver since 1872.
The record for most 100-degrees in a year for Denver is 13 in 2012. There's been one so far in 2024, so if we get three more during this weekends heat wave, that would put this year in a tie for 7th place all-time with four. Grand Junction 105 degrees in 2003 Saturday: Fort Collins 100 degrees in 2003 Colorado Springs 96 degrees in 2005 Another way of tracking the summer heat is with the number of 90-degree days.
The total number of 90-degree days so far this year is 19. Which is well on pace to beat the average of 46. Last year there was only one 90-degree day in Denver by July 9. But at least we are behind the insane pace of the record of 75 set in 2020. By July 9, 2020, there were already 27 90-degree days in Denver.
