Hot on the heels of Wednesday’s 99-degree record high at Reagan National Airport, Washington’s official observation station, the mercury spiked to 102 degrees Thursday, equaling the record for the date set in 1874. The 102-degree reading also matched the warmest temperature reached in the month of June since records started being kept in 1871.

The blistering temperature represents the second-earliest reading of at least 100 degrees on record. The earliest occurred June 5, 1925.
