The climate of Denver (Colorado - United States of America)
Denver is the largest city in Colorado as well as the capital of this state. The city of Aurora is among the places which are part of the urban area of Denver. In total this metropolis has a population of about 3 million. Because Denver is located at an altitude of one mile above sea level the city is also known as ‘The Mile High City’. However, this has nothing to do with the Mile High Club, a term that appeals to people’s imaginations. According to the Köppen Geiger climate classification Denver has a cold steppe climate (type BSk) with four distinct seasons. With only 400 millimeters (15 inches) the climate of Denver is dry accompanied by many hours of sunshine. Denver gets 3,100 hours of annual sunshine on average. June and July are the sunniest months with about 11 hours of sunshine per day. Winters are fairly cool in Denver. It may even be extremely cold from time to time. During a cold period temperatures of -20 to -30 degrees Celsius (-4.00 to -22.0 degrees Fahrenheit). Summers are warm with maximum temperatures rising up to 30 degrees Celsius (86.0 degrees Fahrenheit).

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
