What the Denver climate table shows

Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the 39.73915, -104.9847 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions

Rain is recorded as a daily mean, so 2.00 mm/day is roughly 61 mm across a 30-day month.

Does Denver get the same every year?

Close to it. Averaging decades smooths variation, so treat these as typical rather than guaranteed.
