The year, day by day
Cherry Creek Dam works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 91°F by July 14 and hold at or above 90°F on 27 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 181 dates, bottoming at 16°F around December 20.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 5 through July 31, covering 27 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 12 to October 10.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 18, then returns to freezing around October 21, covering 181 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
The widest day
June 23 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 35°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Cherry Creek Dam Stands Nationally
Freezing is routine here by normals standards — the normal low reaches 32°F or colder on about 181 nights a year, more than most ranked stations.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 35°F between the normal high and low.
Cherry Creek Dam earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Data-derived climate profile
How Cherry Creek Dam's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Cherry Creek Dam's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,837 annual heating degree days against 675 for cooling. Its 41.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Cherry Creek Dam's frost-free season lasts about 154 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Cherry Creek Dam's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.3°F. The annual average is 51°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Cherry Creek Dam's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Cherry Creek Dam's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Cherry Creek Dam, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Cherry Creek Dam's primary station: CHERRY CREEK DAM (USC00051547). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Cherry Creek Dam; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Cherry Creek Dam comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
