Denver records second hottest summer in history

It is officially fall, well meteorological fall, and in coming weeks, temperatures should begin to cool as he leaves start to turn shades of orange and yellow before ultimately leaving behind bare trees. Now that the Summer has come and gone, the National Weather Service is looking at just how hot the past few months were.

NWS measures the summer months  from June through August, and 2024 was the second hottest summer on record in Denver. Summer 2024 had an average temperature of 75 degrees. Normally, an average summer is around 72 degrees. The hottest summer ever recorded was on 2012 when Denver had an average temperature of 76.3 degrees.

Looking back this summer was definitely toasty. With several 100-degree days and two months making the top five warmest in history, it’s not a surprise this was one of the hottest summers on record.

Summer 2024 saw triple-digit heat six times. Those six days helped Denver land the third spot for the most 100-degree days in a year. Aside from the handful of dats that exceed triple digits, two of the three summer months were among the top five warmest, as well.

Temperatures will now start to drop as we hit fall…no more talk  about hot days!!
