Unsettled would be a good word to sum up Thornton’s weather for June 2019. We experienced a series of troughs and fronts that kept things unsettled and suppressed temperatures. That however did not translate into a great deal of precipitation.

Cooler than normal temperatures were seen across much of the month. Even the later part of June saw some days with high temperatures only in the 60s.
