Central Florida experienced some unsually hot temperatures for November / WFTV Severe Weather Center 9

It's November, but it feels like summer all over again; Orlando, Daytona Beach and Melbourne have all broken record high temperatures -- again.

The National Weather Service said the Orlando International Airport reached 91 degrees Monday afternoon, surpassing the record 90 that was set back in 1911.

Daytona Beach beat the old record of 85 by just 3 degrees, reaching 88 by 1 p.m. The former record was established in 1986.

Finally, Melbourne matched the record 86 degrees set this day in 1975.

So far, 2015 is on track to be the hottest year ever recorded, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The group points to an unusually strong El Nino, which means large amounts of ocean heat are sent into the atmosphere.

The hottest year on record is 2014.
