High pressure was the general rule for much of the month of June 2017.\u00a0 This resulted in overall average temperatures that were warmer than normal and precipitation that fell a good ways short of average.<\/p>\n

The month was largely short on weather excitement, beyond the temps and lack of precipitation.\u00a0 The National Weather Service said that 23 of the 30 days saw above normal temperature readings.\u00a0 Denver recorded only five days with precipitation while in Thornton we saw eight.<\/p>\n

Thornton saw an overall average monthly temperature of 69.2 degrees.\u00a0 Out at DIA where Denver\u2019s official measurements are taken, the Mile High City was close with an average of 69.5 degrees.\u00a0 Both locations\u2019 readings were well above the long term June average of 67.4 degrees.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in Thornton ranged from a high of 98.7 degrees on the 21st down to a low of 46.3 degrees on the morning of the 24th.\u00a0 Denver saw a maximum of 99 degrees on the 20th and a low of 42 degrees on the 13th.<\/p>\n

In terms of precipitation, Denver averages 1.98 inches during the month of June. Thornton fell short of the mark with 1.20 inches falling into our rain bucket while Denver\u2019s reading was far worse with a mere 0.33 inches falling there.<\/p>\n

Neither Thornton nor Denver saw any snowfall during the month.<\/p>\n
