3 counties set all-time record highs in July 21
Across Colorado, the highest readings in each county's series since 1951. The warmest was Saguache, Colorado, at 87.5°F.
Between July 21 and July 21, 2026, 3 counties across 1 state recorded the highest value in their county series, which begins in 1951. The series is NOAA/NCEI nClimGrid-Daily, a gridded county-area average — so these are areal extremes, not single-station readings, and they are not directly comparable to a co-op station's record book.

|---|---|---|---|
| Saguache | Colorado | 87.5 | Jul 21 |
