Colorado Springs Weather

Spring
Springtime visitors to Colorado Springs and Colorado will find balmy, sunny days with cool evenings. With the Colorado Springs weather being so comfortable, medium weight clothing such as a comfortable pantsuit for women or a lightweight jacket for men will be most appropriate. Colorado Springs weather is usually mild and dry.

Summer

Cool, casual clothing is ideal for our warm, sunny summer days in Colorado Springs. Sunglasses are a must with more than 300 days of sunny Colorado Springs weather. When the sun goes down, the Colorado Springs weather may change. Evenings can be cool, so it might be advisable to have a light sweater on hand. Summer days in the mountains are quite pleasant. However, summer storms can arise suddenly and those who venture into the backcountry are strongly advised to have long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and a warm jacket close at hand.

Fall
Colorado Springs weather in the fall is pleasantly similar to Spring with warm days and cool evenings. Medium weight clothing with a jacket and/or topcoat for evenings should prove a comfortable combination in this Colorado Springs weather. A visit to the mountains will generally require warmer clothing. However, daytime temperatures can vary from warm to crisp, so several layers of medium weight clothes (shirts, sweaters, and jackets) will allow adjustment for maximum comfort.
Winter
Winter days are generally a combination of warm sun and crisp air. Daytime temperatures can vary from below freezing to above 60 degrees, so layers of medium weight clothing together with a warm jacket or overcoat are desirable. Many may think Colorado Springs weather is full of snow, but that's actually not true. Snow falls infrequently in Colorado Springs and usually disappears quickly; however, a pair of boots should be included in the wardrobe. Remember, because our Colorado Springs weather is typically mild and dry, golf and tennis can be enjoyed year -round!
Wintertime in the mountains can become very cool, but warm sunshine frequently makes the heaviest clothing unnecessary. Nevertheless, and particularly for evenings in the mountains, thermal underwear and very warm outer clothing such as heavy sweaters, ski jackets, and warm-up pants are advisable.
