DENVER (KDVR) — Temperatures could be above 90 degrees in Denver for the first 10 days of September.
With fall set to arrive later this month, many have asked, “is it usually this hot in Denver in September?”
Last year September brought above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation, according to the National Weather Service.
There were seven days where the high temperature was at or above 90 degrees. Three of those days broke records for highs.
- Sept. 9: 96 degrees
- Sept. 10: 99 degrees
- Sept. 11: 97 degrees
If we add 10 days in the 90s this year, then it will set a record. The most 90-degree days in any September is 9.
The hottest day ever recorded in Denver in September was a high of 101 degrees on Sept. 5, 2020.
The normal high for the first half of September ranges between 80-85 degrees. The second half of the month sees a normal high of between 73-79 degrees.
