July 31, 2014 – Sunrise snow on Mount Evans. (DU Observatory)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With monsoonal moisture streaming into the state and cool air coming in from the north, Denver set its second weather record in as many days.<\/p>\n

Denver\u2019s official high temperature yesterday, July 30, as measured at DIA topped out at 62 degrees.\u00a0 This sets a new record low maximum for the date easily besting the previous mark of 64 degrees set in 2009.<\/p>\n

The reading is more akin to what we expect to see in April and October and well below the average high temperature for the date of 90 degrees.<\/p>\n

Here in Thornton we matched that reading with 62 degrees as well.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Al Gore\u2019s Climate Reality Project was in Denver the past two days for EPA hearings. The group pushed the theme \u201cI\u2019m too hot\u201d while serving up ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s.\u00a0 Similar hearings were held in Washington DC and Atlanta and both cities saw below normal temperatures.<\/p>\n

Perhaps not quite too hot, eh? \u00a0It would appear the “Gore Effect” has proven itself again.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday\u00a0Denver set a daily rainfall record<\/a> as 1.80 inches fell in the bucket that day.<\/p>\n

Thornton\u2019s two-day rainfall total came in at 2.03 inches, nearly as much as Denver averages for the entire month of July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
