Climate
Durango enjoys an idea four season climate with moderate temperatures year-round.
Winters are mostly mild and sunny. Winter snowfall is an average of 71" a year, but because of low elevation and great solar exposure (300 days of sunshine per year) snow removal is only an occasional chore of manageable size. At higher elevations, like Durango Mountain Resort, snowfall averages 250"' per year.
Springtime brings warmer weather with rain (annual precipitation of 19" per year) to brighten up greening lawns and high country meadows.
During Summer, temperatures seldom reach more than the high 80's and then just for a week or two. Rivers stay relatively full in the summer, due to deep snow accumulation in the surrounding mountains.
Fall days are cool and dry, perfect for a mountain hike or drive to see the golden aspen and red-orange scrub oak.
