Record breaking heat hits Denver as November gets off to a warm start

A record high was set in Denver on Sunday as unseasonably warm weather moved into the area.

According to the National Weather Service, the temperature at Denver International Airport reached 83 degrees. The previous high for Nov. 2 was set in 2008 when temperatures at the airport reached 78 degrees. This also broke the record high for the month, when it reached 81 degrees on Nov. 17, 2017. The average high for this time of year is 59.

Temperatures are expected to remain in the 60s and 70s this week, and the skies will remain mostly sunny.

Much of northeast and north central Colorado is under a hazardous weather outlook Sunday into Monday due to elevated fire weather conditions on the northern plains.
