DENVER — The Mile High City is ending 2024 in the record books, but not necessarily in a good way. Denver tied the record for the second driest December.
December is typically Denver’s third snowiest month, with an average of 8.5 inches. But December 2024 was kind of boring, weather-wise.
With only a trace amount of precipitation recorded at Denver International Airport for the month, December 2024 has tied with December 1905 as the second driest December since 1872.
These were the seven driest Decembers in Denver
- 0.00″ 1881
- Trace 1905
- Trace 2024
- 0.01″ 1906
- 0.01″ 1895
- 0.03″ 1977
- 0.03″ 1931
We’re also in the running for the fifth warmest December on record, but Tuesday’s chilly temperatures will nudge that down a bit. This month will likely be among the top seven warmest Decembers…
