Temperatures at Denver International Airport climbed to record highs on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
As of 2:28 p.m., temperatures at DIA had reached 68 degrees, according to the weather service. The previous Feb. 15 record of 67 degrees was set in 2017.
The Sunday record is more than 20 degrees above Denver’s “normal” Feb. 15 high of 45 degrees, weather service records show.
No other record temperatures are expected in Denver this week, but high winds and low humidity prompted the weather service to issue multiple fire weather watches for the city.
Fire danger on the Front Range and Eastern Plains may lead to another round of power outages for Colorado, according to Xcel Energy.
