The temperature soared to 92°F on Monday at Eagle. 

This not only breaks the previous record high for the date of 87°F set in 1989 but is the latest date in the summer that the temperature has ever been 90°F or higher. 

Until yesterday the latest date with 90°F or higher occurred on August 7, 1994. 

Eagle has also had 15 days this summer with a daily high temperature of 85°F or higher. This is the most ever in summer, breaking the previous record 13 such days in 1953.
