Denver, USA
mountain climate · city · medium crowds · mid prices
If you're planning an urban escape, Denver deserves a close look. This USA destination lies in mountain country, and its climate record peaks at a 98/100 sun score in August — 31°C afternoons under 39% average cloud cover.
The year runs from average lows of -10°C in January to highs of 32°C in July. On the rain ledger, December is the safest bet at an 11% chance of a wet day, while May climbs to 38%. The genuinely warm window — average highs of 24°C or better — covers June–September.
Season by season (on the northern calendar), spring brings 17°C highs with 30% rain-day odds, summer 30°C at 22%, autumn 19°C at 14%, and winter 6°C at 15%. That makes summer the statistical sweet spot (season score 96), with autumn a workable second; winter is where the odds thin out. A practical compromise is June — the edge of the warm window, averaging 29°C with a 97 sun score.
