Climate Insight: Hermit, CO
In Hermit, Colorado, the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals put the annual average temperature at 38°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 56°F to a mean daily low of 20°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. As thirty-year averages computed from station USC00053951, these numbers smooth out year-to-year noise into a working baseline for a typical month.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Hermit should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 12.9 inches, with 55.0 inches typically falling as snow. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. And on the energy front, 9,830 heating degree days and 6 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Hermit scores 37/100 (Below Average), 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 January-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.
