Shorts and sandals were Sunday’s attire for many Hays residents Sunday as the temperature soared to 80 degrees.

Not warm enough for a record, though.

According to the K-State Agriculture Research Center, the record high for Nov. 1 in Hays was 83 degrees in 1990. One year ago, the temperature reached just 56 degrees.

Saturday’s high was also above normal at 70 degrees.

The weekend’s balmy weather came after a high of just 45 degrees on a drizzly Friday, with 0.33 rain recorded for Hays at the Ag Research center south of town.
