The official high temperature of 83 degrees recorded at the Milford Lake Army Corps of Engineers headquarters on Wednesday set a new record high for the date. That information was provided by Geary County Extension Agent Chuck Otte.

The old record of 76 was set in 1958. It was also just one degree shy of tying the record for the all-time warmest temperature in the month of November. That record is 84 set November 8, 2006. The overnight low of 62 also set a new record high, low temperature for the date. The old record was 60, also set in 1958.

Otte noted that so far, November has been running more than 10 degrees above normal. That is expected to change rapidly as colder temperatures return.
