(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.
