More than 100 places of worship represent the ever growing religious services in Pueblo. There are two hospitals plus the Colorado State Hospital. Nursing training is offered at the local university in cooperation with the hospitals. The climate of Pueblo is semiarid and marked with large daily temperature variations. Daytime temperatures in the 90s during the hottest part of the summer are moderated somewhat by the low humidity.
Summer nights are generally cool.
Winter cold spells are usually broken after a few days by abundant sunshine and warm chinook winds. Normal high temperatures range from around 91 in July to 46 in January. Average lows range from 62 in July to 15 in January. Annual precipitation is about 12 inches, with just less than 30 inches of snowfall. Pueblo's history may be revisited with a trip to one of three large museums.
