September 2025 brought a classic Colorado blend to Boulder and the Front Range: near-normal temps, wetter-than-average skies, and a lively mix of sunshine and storms. A standout precipitation event around the 23rd delivered soaking rain in the lowlands and the first real coating of snow to the Mountains. The month eased us gently into autumn, with crisp mornings, comfortable afternoons, and brilliant foliage lighting up the higher terrain. And yes—who could forget that dramatic wave of Canadian wildfire smoke that swept through, reminding us how connected we are to the broader arid landscape of western North America. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during September and how it relates to climatology.
