Yes, it was a rainy May. Rainfall totals for Denver so far this month are well above average
Metro Denver has exceeded its May rainfall average, with 3. 23 inches recorded since the month's start. The southern metro and Palmer Divide areas received the most precipitation, with some regions reporting totals between 3 and 4 inches. Meteorologist Bruno Rodriguez stated that daily chances for afternoon showers and thunderstorms will persist into early June, with increased precipitation expected late this weekend. The weather has complicated travel, as Denver International Airport experienced over 300 flight delays and more than 40 cancellations due to thick fog.
Rodriguez explained that the cool weather traps moisture, contributing to the fog, but conditions are expected to improve in the coming days. May typically sees the highest rainfall in the Denver area, making this month's totals particularly significant.
