The land is generally flat across Denver. The location of the city lends itself to being protected from the mountains when it comes to adverse weather conditions. Denver is notorious for being sunny over 300 days of the year, more than San Diego, LA and Miami Beach. Contrary to popular belief, Denver is rarely covered in snow during the winter months. It generally takes one sunny afternoon in Denver to melt away any snow that may have fallen.
Summers are hot and arid with strong sunshine.
Precipitation levels average at 15 inches a year in the region. Thanks to the Denver Convention and Visitor's Bureau for photo use.
