Another Rainy Day in Denver

By

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....

We could do with some rain, we are also suffering from the smoke from the wildfires, a definite smell of burnt wood in the air and a very misty/smokey.

I love it when it rains while I am sleeping the sound on the roof helps put me to sleep. It is rain season in our market area.

Joan Cox  I am jealous! We are under an air quality warning. You can see the smoky air over the River. It is coming down from the forest fires in Canada. They are suggesting we keep our windows closed. Some of my hanging plants are even slumping

Nina Hollander, Broker it is not usual to have severe temperature swings, but days on end of rain is very unusual.

Wayne, would love to send some your way, rather tired of a dirty car, and silly to have it washed.

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 we had that a week or so ago, Alberta has several fires and we couldn't even see the mountains.    There were some very bad air quality days.   I did hear now Quebec has fires also.

Pat, we are not used to daily rain, we are very arid here, but know this is good for lack of fires too.

Kat Palmiotti had to bring all my plants in, wasn't sure how big the hail would be.  Luckily it was pea-sized, but wanted to keep the plants free of hail damage.

Hannah Williams we had that too, Alberta has a bunch of fires, and was so smoky one day, Denver had the worst air quality IN THE WORLD.   Couldn't see the mountains, or even 5 miles.   Hope your smoke clears soon!

Dan Hopper I think rain is forecasted every day this week, including today.  Tomorrow I think will be more severe.   It can stop any day now......

We have nice weather in Maryland but have an air quality alert. The smoke from the fires in Canada has reached our area. We did make a shopping trip to Costco today but will limit our time outdoors today and tomorrow.

Hi Joan- we've been getting afternoon thunderstorms which reminds me of South Florida. I can't complain, though. We haven't had like what I see in your photos.
