Sunday the 23rd was an interesting day in southern Colorado. Pueblo set a new record high, with a reading of 101, replacing the old record of 98 set in 1949, and Colorado Springs tied its record of 91 (also set in 1949....and NO, it's not "global warming", it was just a summery day).
It got me thinking, though, we've had days like today...hot and dry (not many), and "water coming from the skies by the tubfull" days (more of these), so how do we compare to our 30-year "average" to this point in the year?
Through Sunday afternoon, here are the numbers...
Since 1 January "Normal" Difference Last Year
Colorado Springs: 12.49" 13.61" -1.12" 7.21"
Pueblo: 10.94" 9.46" +1.48" 8.17"
A quick summary of the statistics...Colorado Springs is slightly behind the 30-year "average" precipitation we usually have to this point, but WAY ahead of last year...Pueblo is slightly ahead of the 30-year figure, and ahead of last year's measurement, but not as dramatically.
