Denver broke the all-time record high temperature for September on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

The last recorded high for the month was 97 degrees, and at 1:17 p.m. Sunday, the high reached 98 degrees, the National Weather Service said on Twitter. That record high was set Sept. 1, 1995.

Denver beat the previous record high of 97Â° with a temperature of 98Â° set at 1:17 PM MDT on 9/1. This breaks the all time high temperature for the month of September! #cowx

Labor Day is expected to be even hotter, with the high expected near 99 degrees, forecasters predicted. The record high of 95 degrees for Sept. 2 was set in 1983, according to the weather service.

With a high around 100Â° in Denver it will likely be the warmest September day on record beating out the record of 98Â° which was set yesterday. We figure that this would be a good time to remind everyone that Denver's normal snowfall for September is 1.3". #COwx pic.twitter.com/I5DsaBRZaw
