| Colorado Weather |
|
The winters are generally dry, while
temperatures alternate from very cold to surprisingly warm. Springs are
windy with highly changeable weather, with occasional blizzards, large
variations in temperature, and rain or wet snow. Most snow is usually
expected in March. The summers are dry
with hot days and comfortable nights. However, the area does receive
large thunderstorms and the plains receive some of the most ferocious
hail storms on the entire continent. The falls are often dry and
pleasant days. In general, the
amount of precipitation increases as you
go eastward towards Kansas and Nebraska. Colorado is prone to dry
falls and winters, moist springs and summers, highly changing and
sometimes unpredictable weather. Strong winds of up to 30 miles
(50 km)/hour can expected year round. |
