Temperatures Break Records For Three Straight Days

For the third day in a row, the Philadelphia region has experienced record-setting warmth.

On Saturday, a high of 69 degrees was recorded in Philadelphia, breaking the record for the previous high of 65 degrees.

Then on Sunday, the official thermometer at Philadelphia Airport peaked at 71 degrees, followed by 70 degrees on Monday, according to Accuweather.

The unseasonable temperatures have broken records. The previous high temperature on Dec. 13 was 65 degrees, which was set in 1923.

Monday’s 70-degree weather broke a previous high of 69 degrees that was set in 1881.

It looks like the mild temperatures will continue throughout the region, but perhaps not quite as warm.

High temperatures for this week will linger in the 60s and 50s until Friday, when a burst of cooler air comes our way, according to the Weather Channel. Temperatures on Friday and Saturday are expected to be in the 40s, the Weather Channel forecast says.

But then by early next week, the unseasonable weather returns, with a high in the mid-60s anticipated on Dec. 23, according to the Weather Channel.
