Denver reaches 100 degrees for first time this year, ties record set 3 years ago

The official temperature reading for Denver has reached triple digits for the first time this year.

Just before 4 p.m. on Wednesday the National Weather Service monitoring station at Denver International Airport recorded a temperature of 100 degrees.

That ties a heat record for July 9 that was set in 2022.

Wednesday is a First Alert Weather Day because the entire state of Colorado is experiencing above-normal temperatures. Triple-digit heat is also being recorded in other areas around Denver, and Douglas County and the foothills areas were expecting upper 90s. Denver and Pueblo both tied their record high for July 9th!

A heat advisory is in place for Wednesday until 9 p.m.

Temperatures on Thursday and Friday will be lower, and rain and storm chances will move into the daily forecasts.
