The month of November 2013 goes into the books as a quiet one without much notable in terms of the weather in the Denver area.\u00a0 We enjoyed unusually warm and dry conditions but neither were record-setting.<\/p>\n

The month started with average temperatures followed by a couple of days of above normal readings.\u00a0 Colder temperatures and light snow followed on the 4th of the month and lasted until the 6th.<\/p>\n

A week of warmer than normal conditions then settled in and lasted through the 20th.\u00a0 On the 21st, a period of five days with colder than normal temperatures arrived as did some light snow on two days during the span.<\/p>\n

Temperatures then warmed up from there and above normal temperatures and dry conditions continued through November 30th.<\/p>\n

Overall temperatures for the month averaged 39.6 degrees in Thornton.\u00a0 Officially, Denver\u2019s average temperature was 40.9 degrees. \u00a0Both were a good bit above the historical November average temperature of 43.5 degrees.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in Thornton ranged from a high of 71.8 degrees on the 3rd down to a low of 13.7 degrees on the 21st.\u00a0 Denver\u2019s maximum and minimum were 71 degrees on the 13th and 12 degrees on the 21st.<\/p>\n

In terms of precipitation, Thornton recorded a scant 0.11 inch of liquid.\u00a0 Denver fared better with 0.27 inches.\u00a0 Both however were below the average November monthly precipitation mark of 0.61 inches.<\/p>\n

Thornton saw total of only 1.8 inches snow during the month, most of which (1.6 inches) fell on the 21st.\u00a0 Officially the Mile High City recorded 2.0 inches of snow, all on the 21st.\u00a0 The average November snowfall is 8.7 inches so the 2013 \u2013 2014 snow season is off to a poor start.<\/p>\n

No temperature, precipitation or snowfall records were set during the month.<\/p>\n
