Denver has a semi-arid climate with warm summers, cold winters, and large temperature swings. At Denver International Airport, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 44°F (7°C) in Dec to 90°F (32°C) in Jul. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 14.5 inches (368 mm) per year.
Spring is Denver's snowiest season; March and April bring the heaviest snowfalls. Summer afternoons feature pop-up thunderstorms along the Front Range. Fall is dry and sunny with stunning mountain views. Winter alternates between Arctic blasts and 60°F Chinook days.
At 5,280 feet, Denver sits above roughly a sixth of the atmosphere by mass, so there is less air overhead to scatter and absorb UV and sunburn comes on faster than most visitors expect. Large same-day temperature swings are common, which is where the local line about 'all four seasons in one day' comes from.
Local Planning Guide
Denver's trickiest periods are March-April snowstorms, summer afternoon thunderstorms, and winter cold fronts that can replace mild weather within hours.
Terrain-driven storms can form quickly west and south of the city, so radar motion and alerts help show whether mountain storms will survive into the metro.
