The Great Denver June Drench of 2023: A Rain-tastic Recap
Remember June 2023 in Denver? Yeah, that wasn't rain, that was a full-on tropical vacation for the clouds! We're talking epic downpours, record-breaking deluges, and enough moisture to fill a swimming pool...in your basement (hopefully not!).
How Much Rain Denver June 2023 |
Just How Soaked Were We?
So, how much did it actually rain? Buckle up, because this is where things get a little nutty. Denver received a whopping 6.10 inches of precipitation in June 2023. To put that in perspective, that's more than TRIPLE the average June rainfall of a measly 1.94 inches.
We're talking biblical proportions, people! Noah probably looked out his window and said, "Hold my beer, Denver's got this."

June 2023: Breaking Records Left and Right
June wasn't just rainy, it was history-making rainy. This epic deluge completely shattered the 140-year record for June rainfall, previously set in 1882 with a paltry 4.96 inches.
Basically, Denver forgot the memo about summer and decided to cosplay as a monsoon.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
So Much Rain, It Got Weird
With all that rain, things got a little...unusual. Here's a taste of the aquatic adventures:
- Fish were seen using umbrellas to cross the street. (Okay, maybe not, but you get the idea.)
- Residents started using their kayaks to get to work. (Just kidding...mostly.)
- Denver Water offered free boat tours of the city. (Okay, this one might be a lie, but it would have been cool, right?)
Let's just say, Noah wasn't the only one building a boat that month.
