SALT LAKE CITY — Temperatures once again reached the 60s across the Wasatch Front on Thursday, giving further proof that it has been an unseasonably warm December.
Yes, it's only 11 days into the month, but we are currently on track to see one of the warmest Decembers on record. In fact, as of Thursday, if you look at the average temperature of each day this month, the current season is currently on top of the rankings.
In Salt Lake City, residents are literally feeling the warmest December in the area's history... and by a lot. Through 11 days, the average temperature of 42 degrees F is over two degrees warmer than the second warmest month in 1917.
Of course, the first half of December is on average the warmest part of the month, with colder temperatures leading up to Christmas and New Year's Eve. However, with only a slight cool expected over the next couple of days, mild temperatures are expected to remain through the middle of next week and stay above average leading into the Christmas holiday.
