Following two hot and dry months in May and June, July brought some relief in the form of near normal temperatures and precipitation.<\/p>\n

Cooler than normal temperatures started the month during the first couple of days of July.\u00a0 That changed for the following 10 days when temperatures bounced to above normal levels with Thornton recording eight 90+ degree days during the period.<\/p>\n

The next few days from the 14th to the 16th brought much cooler conditions and much-needed precipitation.\u00a0 Seasonal temperatures then settled in through the 23rd.\u00a0 As the month came to a close, temperatures became more moderate and we even saw three days (the 27th, 28th, and 29th) with highs in the 70s.\u00a0 Most notably we once again saw some precipitation.<\/p>\n

Thornton saw an average temperature during July of 72.1 degrees.\u00a0 This was a good bit below the long term Denver historical average of 74.3 degrees.\u00a0 Officially at DIA the average temperature for the month was 74.2 degrees.<\/p>\n

We recorded 14 days with temperatures at or equal to 90 degrees.\u00a0 Temperatures ranged from a high of 98.5 degrees on the 11th down to a low of 52.6 degrees on the 27th.<\/p>\n

A reasonable 1.61 inches of precipitation fell into Thornton\u2019s rain bucket during the month.\u00a0 This was a bit below the average for July of 2.16 inches.\u00a0 Out at the airport, Denver fared a bit better with 1.98 inches.<\/p>\n
