Denver’s fall heat is flirting with history.
The forecast called for 88 degrees Monday; a 90-degree high would have been the latest such reading in the city in over 150 years of recordkeeping, a Colorado meteorologist said.

Kylie Bearse (@KylieBearse) used a TikTok to describe the unusual warmth in Denver. The city was expected to reach 88 degrees, keeping temperatures in the upper 80s and putting it on pace for one of its hottest early-October days on record. Bearse said that if Denver hit 90, it would have been “the latest that we’ve ever recorded hitting 90 degrees.”
