Aurora Weather, When to Go and Climate Information

(Aurora, Colorado - CO, USA)

The climate of Aurora falls into the category of 'semi-arid', with this city featuring relatively modest levels of rainfall throughout the year. There are four fairly distinct seasons, with warm springs, hot summers and autumns, and chilly winters, when overnight frosty weather becomes commonplace.

Aurora experiences low humidity and more than the occasional thunderstorm or hailstorm, although these are generally over quickly. The tornado season falls between April and July, and each year there are usually several tornado warnings during this period, with large sirens alerting the city's residents. However, tornadoes only tend to 'touchdown' every other year on average and are generally fairly weak in their nature.

If you are looking to spend time in Aurora during the hottest weather, then July and August boast the highest temperatures, which regularly top 30°C / 86°F and climb to 35°C / 95°F or more on occasion. Either side of these two months, both June and September enjoy a balmy climate, when daytime temperatures hover around 25°C / 77°F, although as the evening progresses, it can feel chilly and a jacket is more often than not a requirement.

Seasonal Climate Variations / When to Go

Spring is a quiet time in Aurora and is therefore a good season to plan a visit, with favourable temperatures averaging between 15°C / 59°F and 20°C / 68°F. Fall remains relatively hot, but by the time that November arrives, it becomes obvious that the winter weather is just around the corner.

December and January reliably experience the coldest climate, although it is fair to say that each winter in Aurora can be quite variable. Some winters are surprisingly mild and sunny, while others are bitter, frosty and snowy. In fact, when it comes to snow, flurries can occur as early as the beginning of September and as late as the end of April.
