Concord Could Break Record Of Summer Days Above 90 Degrees: NWS

CONCORD, NH — Concord could be on track to break a heat record set 65 years ago: 26 summer days with temperatures at or above 90 degrees.

Including Tuesday, the region has already seen 19 days with temperatures at or above 90 degrees during the meteorological summer, National Weather Service meteorologist Michael Clair told Patch.

With three weeks left in the summer — which the NWS considers to be the months of June, July and August — it's possible the region could surpass the standing record set in 1955.

On Monday, the temperature in Concord rose 93 degrees. On Tuesday, the city was enduring 90 degrees before noon.

The NWS predicts a chance of showers in the late morning on Wednesday, giving way to a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. The high on Wednesday is 89 degrees.

Showers will continue until 2 a.m. Tuesday when, during the day, temperatures will be around 89 degrees with partly sunny skies.

Mostly sunny skies will continue through Friday with high temperatures staying in the upper 80s.
