What is Fort Collins Weather Like Year Round?
Let’s Talk About the Fort Collins Weather
It has been hot this week in Fort Collins, Colorado. But the real question is: is the weather hotter than usual? Let’s dive into what “usual” means for our beautiful city and find out!
Fort Collins, located in Northern Colorado, enjoys a semi-arid climate, which means we experience four distinct seasons, each with its own unique charm. Our weather is influenced by the Rocky Mountains, bringing a variety of weather patterns throughout the year.
Summer Sizzle
Summers in Fort Collins are warm to hot, with temperatures often soaring into the 80s and 90s (°F). July is typically the hottest month, with average high temperatures around 87°F (31°C). However, it’s not uncommon for a few days to breach the 100°F mark.
Winter Weather Wonders
Winters can be quite cold, with average lows in January, the coldest month, dipping to about 16°F (-9°C). Snow is a common visitor, with Fort Collins receiving an average annual snowfall of around 48 inches. The good news? The sun shines generously, even in the coldest months, providing a bright contrast to the snowy landscape.
Spring and Fall: The Best of Both Worlds
Spring and fall are considered by many as the most pleasant times of the year. Spring sees a gradual warming, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to the low 70s (°F). Fall, on the other hand, starts warm but cools down to comfortable, crisp weather, perfect for enjoying the colorful foliage.
So, Is It Hotter Than Usual?
Now, back to our burning question: Is it hotter than usual this week? Let’s take a look at the data. On average, June temperatures in Fort Collins hover around the low 80s (°F). If we’re hitting the upper 90s or even breaching the 100°F mark, then yes, we are experiencing a hotter-than-usual spell.
But don’t fret! Weather patterns can be unpredictable, and while a heatwave can make you sweat, it’s just one of the many faces of Fort Collins weather.
Whether it’s the sweltering summer heat, the crisp fall air, the snowy winter wonderland, or the blossoming spring, Fort Collins offers a delightful variety of weather year-round. So, grab your sunscreen or your snow boots and embrace the weather!
