202 recorded hail events in ten years means the average Aurora roof has been hit more than once, whether or not anyone noticed at the time. The 2.75 inch stones that fell on Jun 19, 2018 were large enough to bruise shingles in a way that shows up as leaks years later. A free inspection settles it with photos, not guesswork.
Every number on this page comes from the NOAA Storm Events Database, the federal record of severe weather reports, covering January 2016 through mid-2026. City figures count reports within 10 miles of the city center; the metro figure counts reports within 35 miles of downtown Denver.
Hail reports are point observations. A storm recorded in one suburb often dropped hail across a much wider swath, so treat these counts as a floor, not a ceiling. Hail size is the largest stone measured for each report, in inches.
