Weather in Denver

Best time to visit

Denver has four distinct seasons. Autumn brings unpredictable snowstorms, generally beginning in September, before relatively mild winters create a heaven for skiers and outdoor enthusiasts. Be wary of ice, though, which often appears on gusty days. March is the city’s snowiest month, though the weather is notoriously undependable. Once summer is in full swing, Denver seems like a different place. The heat is infamously dry, but rarely scorching hot, while afternoon thunderstorms tend to persist throughout the season.
