Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs all break daily heat records Wednesday

Denver set yet another daily heat record Wednesday, surpassing a nearly two-decade-old mark, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures in Denver hit 89 degrees, beating the 88 degree mark set on Oct. 2, 2005. The city repeatedly broke or tied daily heat records last month, amid what became the hottest September on record.

Pueblo and Colorado Springs both similarly tied or broke daily records last month, and both did so again Wednesday. By mid-afternoon, Pueblo reached 93 degrees, surpassing the 91 degree record set in 1979, according to NWS. The city then hit 94 degrees, tying its record-high for the month of October.
