Denver is located at the base of the Rocky Mountains - not in them - and the city enjoys over 300 days of sunshine each year. The climate is generally mild, dry and arid, and it only receives eight to 15 inches of precipitation each year.

The city has four distinct seasons. July is the warmest month with high temperatures averaging 88°F and low temperatures averaging 55°F. In January, the coldest month, high temperatures average 47°F and low temperatures 16°F. Chinook winds (a wind blowing down from the mountains that rises in heat as it descends in elevation) can bring pleasant 60°F weather to Denver at any time throughout the winter. During autumn, crisp days and abundant deciduous foliage make the city a particularly lovely place to visit.
