How Hot Will It Be In Colorado This Summer?

The weather is weird in Colorado, as we all know. Take last weekend, for example. With high temperatures nearly reaching 90 degrees in Northern Colorado in early April, and a week later, snow is in the forecast.

Weird, right? If you have lived in Colorado long enough, you know that's just how the weather is, and you just have to adapt. Some say it's all part of Colorado's charm. However, it can be pretty frustrating when it comes to using your furnace and air conditioning, and it doesn't get me started on daily attire at this time of year. You never know if you will need a coat, shorts, or both when it comes to spring in Colorado.

Summers in Colorado Can be Scorching Hot

Soon enough, the summer months will be here, and we all will be longing for the days of cooler weather. It's not unheard of to have triple-digit temperatures in Northern Colorado in July and August. The best thing you can do is prepare for the heat and take it like a champ.
