#Snow totals colorado plus

A combination of the North American Monsoon flow plus cold fronts in eastern Colorado helped increase water vapor and eventually led to heavy rain. Thankfully, the bouts of heat were tempered with periodic rainy periods this month. In Denver, the average temperature this July was 78° which is the 2nd warmest on record.Ĭolorado's front range as well as the central and southern mountains rely on monsoon flow from the southwest during July (and August) to supply the most moisture of the entire calendar year. The average high temperature for July was 96.6° and the 4th warmest on record in Pueblo. The average temperature in Pueblo was 79.1°, 2.5° above normal, and the 10th warmest on record.

The hottest day was 108° on the 23rd, also just 1 degree shy of the all-time record in Pueblo of 109°. In Pueblo, 5 daily record highs were broken on the 10th, 11th, 15th, 18th, and 23rd. The average high temperature was 89.3°, tied with the 6th warmest average high temperature in July. The average temperature (difference between the overnight low and afternoon high) in Colorado Springs this July was 74.7°, which was 2.3° above normal and the 7th warmest on record. This being the 11th time in recorded history the Springs reached 100°, and just 1 degree shy of the all-time record high of 101°. This month, Colorado Springs broke 4 daily record high temperatures on the 9th, 10th, 19th, and 23rd. This pattern was seen multiple times throughout the month. This sinking air hits the surface and compresses the atmosphere, thus heating it up. Strong high-pressure overhead will force air to sink as it seeks out lower pressure. This led to both record heat and high rain totals. July 2022's weather pattern was characterized by a battle between strong ridges of high pressure and monsoon flow.
