The thermometer reached at least 90 degrees again Thursday in Rochester, marking the sixth straight day the temperature hit 90 or better in Rochester.
And that hasn’t happened here in a long time, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Jon Hitchcock.
“And that puts us in fifth place overall as far as streaks go for 90-degree days. And the last time we had six days in a row of 90-degree days was back in 1988,” he said. “Nine days in a row is the longest streak of 90 degree days on record. That was back in 1973 back in late August and early September, so we’re still a few days away from that, and this is the last 90-degree day we’re going to have. It’s much cooler tomorrow.” (Friday)
Hitchcock adds, after Thursday's hot temps, he doesn't see any more 90-degree days in the next seven or eight days.
He says we’ll see pretty typical summer weather for the next several days.
After Thursday, of course.
