Although changing leaves may hint at cooler fall weather, the hot temperatures in Denver continue to tie or break state records.

Temperatures in the capitol city reached 93 degrees by the early afternoon Tuesday, breaking a 1951 record for that date of 92 degrees. Monday saw the same heat — though later in the day — and tied the record for the day set in 1998.

The normal temperature for Sept. 11 in Denver is 81 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.

A reading of 89 degrees in Colorado Springs also tied that city’s 123-year-old record for the hottest Sept. 11 in its history.
