We in Colorado can only be grateful it is raining, as this time of year can be a time with many wildfires across the State. Late May we were so smoky from the Alberta fires (about 90 of them). We have had our share of wildfires over the years, and still burn scars to show for them! Plus all this rain is truly helping the fill the reservoirs and prevent another severe drought!
The forecasters said we had the 8th wettest month of May on record - with 5.53", most of which came down in ONE day! June so far has recorded 1.81", and each and every afternoon we see thunderstorms rolling through Denver.
Denver's average is 14.5" annually, and so far we are at 10.13" for the year.
Tuesday we got quite a bit, and some small hail. Was pretty fun watching the trash cans rolling down the street with the heavy rainfall. (tomorrow morning is trash day)
I had this song in my head today, Here Comes the Rain......
Just another springtime day in Denver - it was around 80 before the rain! It could be worse - the mountains got snow on June 2nd....
