Warmer summers are becoming a trend in Colorado's mountains, contributing to drought and increased wildfire risk. This summer is no exception, with high temperatures and low precipitation levels being reported.

The month of June has seen near-record temperatures in the mountain region, with little precipitation to offset the heat. This combination of factors is worsening already severe drought conditions and heightening concerns about wildfires.

Further information on the current situation and its implications can be found in the Summit Daily, which is tracking the developments in the Colorado mountains, including the Aspen area.
