Multiple cities in the Midwest to Northeast region of the U.S. have been experiencing record-breaking high temperatures, with Rochester, Buffalo, Detroit, and Cleveland all setting new daily records. Detroit recently broke its February record high and achieved its earliest 74°F+ high on record. The urban heat island effect in Detroit has been noted to contribute to higher temperatures. Buffalo and Rochester have also seen unseasonably warm temperatures, with Rochester hitting 74°F, well above its previous daily record of 67°F.
