Weather
Denver has a semi-arid climate with four distinct
seasons. While Denver is located on the Great Plains, the
weather of the city and surrounding area is heavily
influenced by the proximity of the Rocky Mountains to
the west. The climate, while generally mild compared to
the mountains to the west and the plains further east,
can often be very unpredictable. An often-repeated
saying made famous by Denverites is "If you don't like
the weather, wait five minutes." Measurable amounts of
snow have fallen in Denver as late as Memorial Day and
as early as Labor Day, and trace amounts have been
recorded in every month of the year.
The average temperature in Denver is 50.1?F (10.1?C),
Although Denver's Convention and Visitor Bureau claims
Denver receives over 300 sunny days a year [7], the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says
Denver receives about 250 days of sunshine a year [8].
denver's winters are cold and dry .Spring brings with
it significant changes as Denver can be affected by
air masses on all sides, whether arctic air from the
north, which occasionally combines with Pacific storm
fronts bringing snow to the city.
