It was a great way to start spring break for Hays students who could be seen around town wearing flip flops and shorts Monday.

The second day of spring break, Tuesday, people were wearing jackets.

Monday’s high temperature in Hays reached all the way to 90 degrees, a new record for March 16, according to the K-State Agriculture Research Station.

The previous record high was 85 degrees set in 2012.

A cold front moved through Monday evening, causing the overnight low to drop to 32 degrees, a difference of 58 degrees.

The official first day of spring is Friday, March 20.
