Weather and Seasonality
The biggest surprise for visitors to Denver is the weather. The mild, dry climate bring only 8 to 15 inches of annual precipitation and locals wake up to more than 300 days of sunshine a year. That’s more annual hours of sun than Miami or San Diego.
Winters are moderate with an average daily high temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit; days reaching 60 degrees are not uncommon. Snow doesn't stay on the ground long in Denver, so golf courses and outdoor cafés stay open all year.
In summer, Denver enjoys low relative humidity, making for beautiful, sun-filled days and cool, comfortable evenings. The average daily high temperature in August is 86 degrees Fahrenheit. The pleasant weather is due in part to the city's altitude: 5,280 feet above sea level – exactly a mile high.
