At 85 degrees, Tuesday was the hottest April 11 in Concord’s recorded history.

The National Weather Service confirmed the record – breaking the 84-degree mark set in 1945 – on Twitter at 1:54 p.m. on Tuesday. The official temperature may have increased afterward.

It was the second-straight day of near-record high temperatures in New Hampshire’s capital. Monday afternoon reached 82 degrees, just 1 degree shy of the mark set in 1922.

Less than two weeks ago, the city set a much different kind of record.

On April 1, 6.9 inches of snow fell in Concord. That broke the old record for that day of 5.7 inches, set in 1993.
