Colorado / Climate
Extreme weather
Snow highlights the rugged mountains as well as the urban and agricultural landscapes of the Colorado plains.
Extreme weather is a common occurrence in Colorado. Thunderstorms are common east of the Continental divide in the spring and summer, and Colorado is one of the leading states in deaths due to lightning. Hail is a common sight in the mountains east of the divide and in the northwest part of the state. The Eastern Plains have some of the biggest hail storms in North America. Also the Eastern Plains are part of Tornado Alley and produce some of the deadliest U.S. tornadoes. Some damaging tornadoes in the Eastern Plains include the 1990 Limon F3 tornado and the 2008 Windsor EF3 tornado, which devastated the town. The plains are also susceptible to floods, which are caused both by thunderstorms and by the rapid melting of snow in the mountains during warm weather.
Denver's 1901 record for number of consecutive days above 90 °F (32 °C) was broken in the summer of 2008. The new record of twenty-four (24) consecutive days surpassed the previous record by almost a week. Colorado is a relatively dry state averaging only 17 inches (430 mm) of rain per year and rarely experiences a time when some portion of the state is not in some degree of drought. The lack of precipitation contributes to the severity of wildfires in the state such as the Hayman Fire, one of the largest wildfires in US history.
Records
The highest temperature ever recorded in Colorado was 118 °F (48 °C) on July 11, 1888, at Bennett, while the lowest was -61 °F (-51.7 °C) on February 1, 1985, at Maybell.

It makes so much of an impression on his mind and memory that a man will be much more likely to enter a lifelong union with a woman who has provided him this sensation of ideal (under-)lubricated tightness for even just a few times.
