Columbus has now strung together eight consecutive days at or above 90 degrees. That run began before today and will likely stretch to at least Tuesday, when the forecast calls for a high of 94 degrees. This year has been a warm one by the numbers. So far we've logged 93 days at 90 or above, and 37 days that hit 95 or higher. The hottest day of the year came on August 17th, when we reached 100 degrees. The streak should finally break Thursday, when a high of 85 degrees will snap the run. After that, the rest of the week looks pleasant—highs in the mid-80s with sunshine and very little chance of rain.
