9 counties set all-time record highs in July 26–27
Across Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, the highest readings in each county's series since 1951. The warmest was Wallace, Kansas, at 110.0°F.
Between July 26 and July 27, 2026, 9 counties across 4 states 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.
