Denver\u2019s official average came in a bit warmer at 45.3 degrees. That was well above the Mile High City\u2019s November average of 38.3 degrees.\u00a0 A reading of 81 degrees on the 27th and 22 degrees on the 15th were the highest and lowest readings at DIA.<\/p>\n
Denver set two daily high temperature records.\u00a0 On the 26th, as measured at Denver International Airport, the temperature topped out at 74 degrees, a record high for the date.\u00a0 This was followed the next day with a record high setting of 81 degrees. The reading on the 27th also set a record for the warmest November ever on record.<\/p>\n
In terms of precipitation, what little we saw came during the first half of the month.\u00a0 Thornton saw a mere 0.20 inch in the bucket.\u00a0 The airport saw a bit more with 0.29 inches. Both fall well short of Denver\u2019s long term November precipitation average of 0.61 inches.<\/p>\n
