Warming context for Grant

Methodology

The chart below traces how the U.S. land temperature anomaly has moved against the global mean since 1900. For Grant, the NOAA 1991-2020 normal captures average conditions across that spread - notably, the most recent decade runs warmer than the 30-year mean itself.

Climate Insight: Grant, CO

An annual average temperature of 39°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 53°F to a mean daily low of 25°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Grant, Colorado. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00053530 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.

Grant averages 15.4 inches of precipitation a year, with 82.0 inches typically falling as snow, and that matters as much to daily life here as temperature does. The frost-free season averages 86 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near June 15 and the first fall freeze near September 9. As for energy demand, 9,581 heating degree days and 2 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Grant scores 34/100 (Below Average), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for July-driven heat, or deep winter for December-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
