This Is The Rainiest Start Denver Has Seen In 80 Years

As of June 3, it had rained more than 11.6 inches from the start of this year, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder. That’s more than double what Denver usually gets by early May, and there’s more rain in the forecast.

It hasn’t rained this much since the 1940s.
