Climate Insight: Parker, CO
Based on station USC00056323 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Parker, Colorado averages 50°F a year, ranging from a mean daily high of 66°F to a mean daily low of 33°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Parker should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs an uncharted amount, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 147 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 3. And on the energy front, 6,048 heating degree days and 510 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Parker scores 49/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above are the practical planning tool: mild highs and lows land in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat peaks in summer, and December-driven cold sets in over deep winter. These are thirty-year averages, not a forecast - any single year can run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal.
