DENVER (CBS4) The calendar might still show winter, but it felt more like early summer across Colorado on Monday. For the second day in a row new record high temperatures were set across the region.
Denvers high of 81°F at Denver International Airport on Mar. 16 broke the previous record of 75°F set in 2012. It was also the earliest 80°F temperature recorded in Denver since the climate record began in 1872. The previous earliest 80°F reading was recorded on Mar. 18, 1907, when the high was 82°F.
It was even warmer in downtown Denver where the temperature hit 83°F at nearby City Park.
Other records set on Mar. 16 include 84°F in Pueblo, 80°F in Colorado Springs, 84°F in Burlington and 83°F in Yuma. An unofficial temperature of 90°F was reported by CBS4 Weather Watcher Dakota McGee near Wray.

(9 posts)We are responsible for this temperature. This is the effect of global worming. We have to do something now. If we not control the emission of CO2, soon we have nothing to do.

This is it. Enjoy your remaining time here, and help others do the same.
