Columbus is in the middle of an eight-day run of temperatures at 90 degrees or higher, a stretch that shows just how persistent the heat has been this year. Today will reach 94, and tomorrow looks much the same at 94 as well before a slight break arrives midweek.
The region has already logged 93 days at 90 or above so far in 2026, with 37 of those reaching 95 or higher. The hottest day of the year came back in August when the temperature hit 100 degrees.
The normal high for this date is 86 degrees, so we're running about eight degrees above where we ought to be. The heat should finally ease a little on Wednesday, with highs dropping to 91, and then Thursday brings a more noticeable cooldown into the mid 80s.
