Warming context for Cabin Creek

Methodology

Since 1900, U.S. land temperatures have tracked (and diverged from) the global mean - the chart below shows how. Cabin Creek's current NOAA 1991-2020 normal sits within that longer spread, and the most recent decade runs warmer than the 30-year mean.

Climate Insight: Cabin Creek, CO

Based on station USC00051186 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Cabin Creek, Colorado averages 38°F a year, ranging from a mean daily high of 48°F to a mean daily low of 27°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while February is the coldest. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.

Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Cabin Creek receives roughly 21.6 inches of precipitation each year, with 153.7 inches typically falling as snow. The frost-free season averages 105 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near June 6 and the first fall freeze near September 19. For energy use, 9,999 heating degree days and 1 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Cabin Creek scores 44/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings February-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
