It was hot in Hays Wednesday.

According to the official record from the K-State Agricultural Research Station, the high temperature yesterday, June 15, was 103 degrees.

But that wasn’t high enough to break the record of 105 degrees on June 15, 1985.

The temperature dropped considerably after 8 p.m. as a fierce wind kicked up from strong thunderstorms that developed just east of Hays. According to Ray Burgert of the National Weather Service, it led to a strong outflow of air pushing in the other direction. While the rain and storms moved east, a strong west wind blew through Hays.

One year ago on June 15, the temperature in Hays reached just 85 degrees.
