Temperature hits record in Redmond

Published 12:54 am Wednesday, January 28, 2015

For the third day in a row, a new record high temperature was set in Redmond on Monday.

The temperature hit 66 degrees about 3:45 p.m., breaking the old record of 62 set in 1971, said Roger Cloutier, a forecaster for the National Weather Service in Pendleton. Saturday’s high of 67 and Sunday’s 69 also set new records in Redmond, surpassing the previous record of 61 degrees for both dates set in 1975 and 1951, respectively.

The record in Redmond for Jan. 27 — also 61 degrees, set in 2011 — may be safe today. The Weather Service predicts a high temperature today of 59 degrees.
