Climate Insight: Maybell, CO

The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Maybell, Colorado as a location with an annual average temperature of 42°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 59°F to a mean daily low of 24°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00055446, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.

Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Maybell should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 12.6 inches, with 55.3 inches typically falling as snow. The frost-free season averages 85 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near June 16 and the first fall freeze near September 9. And on the energy front, 8,669 heating degree days and 148 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Maybell scores 34/100 (Below Average), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
