May & June rainfall totals above average
(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — We continue our streak of storms in the forecast, but some Southern Coloradoans might wonder if this amount of moisture is rare for our area.
The long streak of stormy weather started in May. Even though it seemed like a lot of water, according to records from the National Weather Service, May 2025 did not even make it to the top five, 10, or even top 15 for rainiest Mays.
Out of all the Mays on record since the 1800s, May 2025 is the 28th wettest May on record in Colorado Springs. However, 2023 is a different story, where we actually saw the third wettest May on record with 5.22 inches of rain and multiple days of flooding.
As we head into the middle of June, we have more rain on average in Colorado Springs than in Pueblo. So far, the Springs has seen half an inch or more than we normally see for this month in water.
So, relatively, the month of June so far has been wetter than average. For the year of 2025 so far, Colorado Springs is sitting at just over an inch more than the area normally sees for this time of year. However, Pueblo is still falling more than half an inch behind for this time of year.

The Latest from Storm Team 5… Good news, as of 3 p.m., the Air Quality alert for NE WI has expired as air quality levels are improving! However, we have a band of rain developing in central WI and that will be the focal point of our weather. For tonight, expect cloudy skies with rain showers favoring areas north of Green Bay. Can not rule out a few showers to pass through the Fox Valley at times. Lows tonight in the upper 40s and low 50s. Rain showers along a stationary boundary should remain north of HWY 29 through much of the morning into the afternoon, but a passing shower south can not be ruled out. You will notice even cooler temperatures then today, only topping out in the middle to upper 50s up north, with lower to middle 60s south. Most wont see much rain, but areas far north could see up around 1″ or more of rain. Saturday, a weak wave of rain will move in for the morning, but we should be dry for the Flag Day Parade in the afternoon. Highs will be in the 60s to around 70. Keeping us dry for the Dads on Sunday under mostly cloudy skies. Have to watch Monday through Wednesday, lots of model uncertainty with arrival of rain and storms…stay tuned.
