Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The key word to describe Denver’s weather is variety. Some people incorrectly assume that Denver is caught in a perpetual blizzard. More accurately, all four seasons are represented, though they do seem to mesh into one another from time to time. Winters can be cold, but for the most part they are mild. Driving in the snow can be tricky, though, as roads sometimes become dangerously icy. Spring is pleasant and tends to reach high temperatures by late April, but there is the occasional March or April blizzard. Summers tend to be hot, offering little relief from rain, and autumn is beautiful and doesn’t tend to get too cold until early November. The best part of Denver is that it is sunny almost every day, no matter the temperature.

The weather gear shifts frequently, so while you may be battling slippery roads one day, bright sunshine will melt the ice away the next. Anything can happen with the weather in Denver; the trick is wearing lots of layers of clothing so you’re better prepared. Some people are surprised at how dry Denver’s air is. The low humidity can be good and bad, as it doesn’t get too muggy, but it can get uncomfortably hot. Generally speaking, temperatures don’t stay within the extremities for long periods of time.

Denver has 300+ days of sunshine. It's easy to stay happy here. No seasonal affected disorder here! You have snow in the winter, flowers and blossoms in the spring, and beautiful sunshine all year long. Denver is a great place to live.

In a Word: Perfect

A cloudy day is strange and rare - almost every day is clear blue skies, summers aren't too hot (and it's dry, not humid!) and winters aren't too cold. You get snow but it melts before it gets ugly.

CO Is the Greatest

CO weather is spectacular! When it's nice out, the fraternities are blasting music and sitting in baby pools outside their houses. Kids play frisbee in the green, tan outside residence halls, eat on dining hall patios and go running. Also, when it snows, everyone is outside playing in the snow! We LOVE Colorado weather and participate outdoors regardless of weather
