Because of the unique position Colorado Springs enjoys geographically, with high mountains to the west and the Palmer Divide to the north, the climate is mild and semi-arid, with less than 16 inches of precipitation annually, mostly in the form of rain. We are blessed with 250 - 300 days of sunshine annually. While snow does fall sporadically from October to April, the average season is 45 inches, and most of that is in the months of March and April, and in general it melts quickly in our warm sun. Winter days are often in the 40’s or even 50’s, with sunshine. Summer often brings afternoon thunderstorms, our rainiest months are June and July most years. Daytime highs are usually in the 80’s with between 10 and 20 days reaching the 90’s, but cooling into the 50’s almost every night. Fall brings blazing golden aspens and clear blue sky days, with our first snow usually in October, just in time for Halloween. Colorado Springs Climate Data
