Thornton experienced its second coldest November of the past 13 years and the snowiest of the past 13 years.<\/p>\n<p>The month started out chilly but soon saw things stabilize and turn seasonal. Then, the 8th and 9th offered up our two warmest days of the month with readings of 71 and 79 degrees respectively. We quickly chilled out and saw our first snowfall of the month on the 9th although it was minimal.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/thornton-weather\/november-2019-top-shots-monthly-photo-slideshow\/\">November 2019 top shots: Monthly photo slideshow<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From the 12th to the 19th, weather was relatively calm and temperatures for the most part warmer than normal.<\/p>\n<p>After that, things went downhill with most of the balance of the month seeing temperatures well below normal. Light snow on the 20th, 21st and 22nd was followed by our most significant storm of the season on the 26th.<\/p>\n<p>Thornton saw an overall overage temperature for November of 35.6 degrees. This was a good ways below the long term Denver average for the month of 38.3 degrees. Out at Denver International Airport where Denver\u2019s official measurements are taken, the average temperature for the month was 36.2 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Temperatures in Thornton ranged from a high of 79 degrees on the 9th down to a low of 2 degrees on the 27th. Out at the airport, Denver saw its warmest reading of 77 degrees on the 9th also and its coldest temperature of -2 degrees on the 27th. The high temperature on the 9th was a record high for the date.<\/p>\n<p>A generous amount of precipitation was received with Thornton recording 1.46 inches of rain and snowmelt. Denver lagged a bit with 1.31 inches. Both readings were well above the long term Denver average of 0.61 inches for November.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of snowfall, the Mile High City averages 8.7 inches in November. Thornton\u2019s reading of 16.7 inches and Denver\u2019s of 13.7 inches easily bested the average.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/climatedataout112019.html\">Click here to view Thornton\u2019s November 2019 climate report<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Temps.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Temps.jpg\" alt=\"Thornton, Colorado's November 2019 Temperature Summary\" width=\"610\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Temps.jpg 769w, https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Temps-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Temps-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Temps-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Temps-590x295.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Precip.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20251\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Precip.jpg\" alt=\"Thornton, Colorado's November 2019 Precipitation Summary\" width=\"610\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Precip.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Precip-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Precip-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Precip-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thorntonweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-11-Precip-590x295.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<pre>CLIMATE REPORT\r\nNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DENVER\/BOULDER CO\r\n905 AM MST SUN DEC 1 2019\r\n\r\n...................................\r\n\r\n...THE DENVER CO CLIMATE SUMMARY FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER 2019...\r\n\r\nCLIMATE NORMAL PERIOD 1981 TO 2010\r\nCLIMATE RECORD PERIOD 1872 TO 2019\r\n\r\nWEATHER         OBSERVED          NORMAL  DEPART  LAST YEAR`S\r\n                 VALUE   DATE(S)  VALUE   FROM    VALUE  DATE(S)\r\n                                          NORMAL\r\n................................................................\r\nTEMPERATURE (F)\r\nRECORD\r\n HIGH              81   11\/27\/2017\r\n LOW              -18   11\/29\/1877\r\nHIGHEST            77   11\/09        73       4       65  11\/02\r\nLOWEST             -2   11\/27        -6       4       10  11\/12\r\nAVG.
