2025-06-01 to 2025-06-30 · Uncompahgre Plateau and Dallas Divide, Colorado

Event narrative

Extreme (D3) Drought has been analyzed as covering the middle half of the zone. This coverage remained largely unchanged through the month of June.

Wider weather episode

Conditions ran warmer than normal in the month of June, but enough moisture made it into eastern Utah and western Colorado to at least prevent a significant worsening of the drought. However, there was very little improvement in terms of the extent of Extreme (D3) Drought, with all the zones that began the month with Extreme (D3) Drought conditions also finishing the month with them.
