Eight days and counting: heat streak pushes toward mid-week
How many days of 90 degree heat in Columbus Georgia this year
Columbus has had 93 days at 90 degrees or above in 2026, with eight consecutive days still running.
Forecast air temperature across the Southeast. Map: CNAW 2, built from NOAA data on a USGS base.
We are eight days into a run of 90-degree weather, and it will stretch at least two more days. Monday and Tuesday both look to reach 95 degrees under sunny skies.
That would make ten straight days at or above 90 degrees. For the year, we have already logged 93 days at 90 or above and 37 days at 95 or above. The hottest day came back in August at 100 degrees.
Temperatures will finally break the pattern Wednesday, with a high of 91, and cool further by Thursday into the mid-80s. The streak will end, but we will have added another significant run to a year that has been marked by heat.
