To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Denver and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. Arapahoe County Airport (KAPA, 14%, 14 mi, southeast, 610 ft elevation change).Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC, 19%, 13 mi, northwest, 322 ft elevation change).(KDNR, 67%, 6 mi, east, 16 ft elevation change) The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: The estimated value at Denver is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Denver and a given station. There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Denver.įor each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Denver according to the International Standard Atmosphere, and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations. In the case of snowfall, the total precipitation is given in centimetres.This report illustrates the typical weather in Denver, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from Januto December 31, 2016. If the precipitation falls as water or sleet, the total precipitation is given in millimetres. The total precipitation is given in inches. For example in temperatures just above freezing, snowfall with the water content of 10 millimetres of water forms a snow layer 10 centimetres thick on the ground, but in temperatures around -20 degrees Celsius the layer formed by same amount of water is 20 centimetres thick. If the water content of the rain is kept constant, the colder the weather, the thicker a layer the falling snow forms on the ground.įor example in temperatures just above freezing, snowfall with the content of a quarter of an inch of water forms a 2,5 inches thick layer of snow on the ground, but in temperatures around -5 degrees Fahrenheit the same amount of water forms a layer of snow 5 inches thick. Temperatures also affect how much a given amount of snowfall grows the amount of snow on the ground. These factors cause the amount of snow on the ground to grow less than the snowfall amount. The total snowfall refers to the snowfall from the cloud and does not take into account local melting, packing or drifting of snow. The total precipitation forecast gives the expected total precipitation for the whole 24-hour day. Please note that especially in inland locations wind gusts can be up to 1,5 to 2,5 times stronger than the 10-minute average wind speed. The wind forecast shows the strongest expected 10-minute average wind speed of the day. Unlike the daily weather symbol, the temperatures, wind information and total precipitation take into account the whole 24-hour day. Daily temperatures, wind information and total precipitation The cloudiness on the daily weather symbol is calculated as a weighted average of the predicted cloudiness of that day, with most weight assigned to the afternoon hours. You can see the more precise timing and intensity of the rain in the hourly forecast. The rain can be light rain that falls for a longer time period, or a heavy rain of short duration. The amount of rain drops on the daily weather symbol represent the total precipitation amount of that day. The weather in the evening or night time do not show on the symbol. The daily weather symbol gives an overview of the weather between 7 a.m.
