Columbus and the surrounding region are running through their eighth consecutive day at or above 90 degrees. That kind of sustained heat is not unusual for late September in the viewing area, but it's worth noting because the next few days will keep the streak alive. Today should reach 95, and Tuesday will do the same before a slight dip on Wednesday to 91.
This year has been a hot one overall. There have been 93 days at 90 or above so far, and 37 of those hit 95 or higher. The hottest day came back in August, when the thermometer reached 100 degrees.
