Karval, CO Climate

Climate Insight: Karval, CO

An annual average temperature of 50°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 66°F to a mean daily low of 35°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Karval, Colorado. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00054444 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.

Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Karval sees about 14.1 inches of precipitation a year, with 21.0 inches typically falling as snow. The frost-free season averages 150 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 9 and the first fall freeze near October 6. On the energy side, 6,040 heating degree days and 687 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Karval scores 49/100 (Moderate), 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.
