Denver Climatological Preview - February 2023 |

A Preview of Denver's February Weather - The Calm Before the Spring Storms
However, it is still winter and below freezing temperatures at night still remain the norm. February ranks as the third coldest month of the year with an average temperature of 32.5 degrees. Only December and January are colder. Average high temperatures start out on the first of the month at 44 degrees but climb to 50 degrees by the end. Low temperatures average 17 degrees at the start and 22 degrees by the 29th. Temperature extremes during the month cover a wide range. The warmest temperature ever recorded in February of 77 degrees occurred twice, once on February 4, 1890 and again on February 28, 2006. Bitter Arctic cold does sometimes intrude and that was the case on February 1, 1951 and February 8, 1936 when the coldest February temperature of 25 degrees below zero was recorded. February is not typically a snowy month – in fact only the 6th snowiest – with an average of 5.7 inches. Substantial snow totals can be recorded during February however. In 1912 Denver tallied 22.1 inches, the most ever in Denver during the month. In terms of severe weather, the month joins September and October as being the quietest for Denver. As we say though, it is a month of transition and as such extremes can and have occurred in the past. From severe cold and snow to beautiful spring-like days we can see it all. Oftentimes the month can lull us into a false sense of spring when the snowiest month – March – has yet to come. Some of the significant February weather events in history include:
