The year, day by day
Wfo Pueblo works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 94°F by July 17 and hold at or above 90°F on 57 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 158 dates, bottoming at 13°F around December 22.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 22 through August 17, covering 57 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 29 to October 15.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 30, then returns to freezing around October 25, covering 158 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
The widest day
March 21 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 34°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Wfo Pueblo Stands Nationally
A drier-than-most normal water year — around 14 inches, below what four out of five ranked stations collect.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 34°F between the normal high and low.
Wfo Pueblo earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Wfo Pueblo runs a summer-peaked wet season
47% of Wfo Pueblo's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is July at 2.5", on a wide 46.3°F gap between its warmest and coldest month. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: July, August, May, taking 48% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: December at 0.3".
- Winter share: 8% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Wfo Pueblo's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Wfo Pueblo's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,386 annual heating degree days against 1,060 for cooling. Its 46.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Wfo Pueblo's frost-free season lasts about 162 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Wfo Pueblo's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 46.3°F. The annual average is 53°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Wfo Pueblo's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 13.8 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Wfo Pueblo's primary station: WFO PUEBLO (USC00058992). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Wfo Pueblo; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Wfo Pueblo comes from its primary NOAA station record.
