It's not unusual for that to happen right after a big warm-up," said James Brown, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine. On Friday, Feb. 24, a high temperature in Concord of 69 degrees broke the old record of 62 degrees set in 1930, Brown reported. This also was the highest February temperature ever recorded since 1869, according to the National Weather Service. On Saturday, Feb. 25, a high of 68 degrees in Concord broke the old record of 63 degrees set in 2016, Brown said. In Concord in February, temperatures averaged 30.1 degrees, 5.8 degrees above normal, the National Weather Service reported.
