With the forecast for temperatures possibly near 90 degrees inland on Monday, I decided to  research to see  just how hot it can get in the month of April!

Here is some past temperature data for Bradley Airport in Windsor Locks.

-April 7, 1991: 90

-April 7, 2010: 93 (highest, earliest for month)

-April 16, 2002: 90

-April 17, 2002: 95

-April 19, 1976: 96 (highest ever for month)

-April 27, 1962: 94

-April 28, 1990: 94

-April 29, 1974: 91

As you can see at Bradley Airport temperatures at or above 90 have occurred 8 times since 1948. 

It is possible Monday may become the 9th time.  I will have an update on the high temperatures across the state early Monday evening.
