This area includes several terrains and climates from alpine mountains to arid deserts. The Western Slope includes many ski resort towns in the Rocky Mountains and towns west to Utah. It is less populous than the Front Range but includes a large number of national parks and monuments. The northwestern corner of Colorado is a sparsely populated region, and it contains part of the noted <a href="/wiki/Dinosaur_National_Monument" title="Dinosaur National Monument">Dinosaur National Monument</a>, which not only is a <a href="/wiki/Paleontology" title="Paleontology">paleontological</a> area, but is also a scenic area of rocky hills, canyons, arid desert, and streambeds. Here, the Green River briefly crosses over into Colorado. The Western Slope of Colorado is drained by the Colorado River and its tributaries (primarily the <a href="/wiki/Gunnison_River" title="Gunnison River">Gunnison River</a>, <a href="/wiki/Green_River_(Colorado_River)" class="mw-redirect" title="Green River (Colorado River)">Green River</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/San_Juan_River_(Colorado_River)" class="mw-redirect" title="San Juan River (Colorado River)">San Juan River</a>).

Unlike most other states, southern Colorado is not always warmer than northern Colorado. Most of Colorado is made up of mountains, foothills, high plains, and desert lands. Mountains and surrounding valleys greatly affect the local climate. Northeast, east, and southeast Colorado are mostly the high plains, while Northern Colorado is a mix of high plains, foothills, and mountains. Northwest and west Colorado are predominantly mountainous, with some desert lands mixed in. Southwest and southern Colorado are a complex mixture of desert and mountain areas. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Eastern_Plains">Eastern Plains</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Colorado&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Eastern Plains">edit</a>]</div> The climate of the Eastern Plains is <a href="/wiki/Semi-arid_climate" title="Semi-arid climate">semi-arid</a> (<a href="/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification" title="Köppen climate classification">Köppen climate classification</a>: <a href="/wiki/Cold_semi-arid_climate" class="mw-redirect" title="Cold semi-arid climate">BSk</a>) with low humidity and moderate precipitation, usually from 15 to 25 inches (380 to 640 millimeters) annually, although many areas near the rivers are semi-humid climate. The area is known for its abundant sunshine and cool, clear nights, which give this area a great average <a href="/wiki/Diurnal_temperature_variation" class="mw-redirect" title="Diurnal temperature variation">diurnal temperature range</a>. The difference between the highs of the days and the lows of the nights can be considerable as warmth dissipates to space during clear nights, the heat radiation not being trapped by clouds. The Front Range urban corridor, where most of the population of Colorado resides, lies in a pronounced <a href="/wiki/Rain_shadow" title="Rain shadow">precipitation shadow</a> as a result of being on the <a href="/wiki/Leeward" class="mw-redirect" title="Leeward">lee</a> side of the Rocky Mountains.<a href="#cite_note-usgsFRUC1978-59">[57]</a> In summer, this area can have many days above 95 °F (35 °C) and often 100 °F (38 °C).<a href="#cite_note-Climate_of_Colorado-60">[58]</a> On the plains, the winter lows usually range from 25 to −10 °F (−4 to −23 °C). About 75% of the precipitation falls within the growing season, from April to September, but this area is very prone to droughts. Most of the precipitation comes from thunderstorms, which can be severe, and from major snowstorms that occur in the winter and early spring. Otherwise, winters tend to be mostly dry and cold.<a href="#cite_note-Denver-Colorado-United-States-of-America-61">[59]</a> In much of the region, March is the snowiest month. April and May are normally the rainiest months, while April is the wettest month overall. The Front Range cities closer to the mountains tend to be warmer in the winter due to <a href="/wiki/Chinook_wind" title="Chinook wind">Chinook winds</a> which warms the area, sometimes bringing temperatures of 70 °F (21 °C) or higher in the winter.<a href="#cite_note-Denver-Colorado-United-States-of-America-61">[59]</a> The average July temperature is 55 °F (13 °C) in the morning and 90 °F (32 °C) in the afternoon. The average January temperature is 18 °F (−8 °C) in the morning and 48 °F (9 °C) in the afternoon, although variation between consecutive days can be 40 °F (22 °C). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Front_Range_foothills">Front Range foothills</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Colorado&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Front Range foothills">edit</a>]</div> Just west of the plains and into the foothills, there is a wide variety of climate types. Locations merely a few miles apart can experience entirely different weather depending on the topography. Most valleys have a semi-arid climate, not unlike the eastern plains, which transitions to an <a href="/wiki/Alpine_climate" title="Alpine climate">alpine climate</a> at the highest elevations. Microclimates also exist in local areas that run nearly the entire spectrum of climates, including subtropical highland (Cfb/Cwb), humid subtropical (Cfa), humid continental (Dfa/Dfb), Mediterranean (Csa/Csb) and subarctic (Dfc).<a href="#cite_note-62">[60]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Extreme_weather">Extreme weather</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Colorado&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Extreme weather">edit</a>]</div> Extreme weather changes are common in Colorado, although a significant portion of the extreme weather occurs in the least populated areas of the state. Thunderstorms are common east of the Continental Divide in the spring and summer, yet are usually brief. Hail is a common sight in the mountains east of the Divide and across the eastern Plains, especially the northeast part of the state. Hail is the most commonly reported warm-season severe weather hazard, and occasionally causes human injuries, as well as significant property damage.<a href="#cite_note-Childs-63">[61]</a> The eastern Plains are subject to some of the biggest hail storms in North America.<a href="#cite_note-ccc-53">[51]</a> Notable examples are the severe hailstorms that hit Denver on July 11, 1990,<a href="#cite_note-64">[62]</a> and May 8, 2017, the latter being the costliest ever in the state.<a href="#cite_note-65">[63]</a> The Eastern Plains are part of the extreme western portion of <a href="/wiki/Tornado_Alley" title="Tornado Alley">Tornado Alley</a>; some damaging tornadoes in the Eastern Plains include the 1990 <a href="/wiki/Limon,_Colorado" title="Limon, Colorado">Limon</a> <a href="/wiki/Fujita_scale" title="Fujita scale">F3</a> tornado and the <a href="/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_May_22%E2%80%9327,_2008#Windsor,_Colorado" title="Tornado outbreak of May 22–27, 2008">2008 Windsor EF3 tornado</a>, which devastated a small town.<a href="#cite_note-66">[64]</a> Portions of the eastern Plains see especially frequent tornadoes, both those spawned from <a href="/wiki/Mesocyclone" title="Mesocyclone">mesocyclones</a> in <a href="/wiki/Supercell" title="Supercell">supercell</a> thunderstorms and from less intense <a href="/wiki/Landspout" title="Landspout">landspouts</a>, such as within the <a href="/wiki/Denver_convergence_vorticity_zone" class="mw-redirect" title="Denver convergence vorticity zone">Denver convergence vorticity zone</a> (DCVZ).<a href="#cite_note-Childs-63">[61]</a> The Plains are also susceptible to occasional floods and particularly severe flash floods, which are caused both by thunderstorms and by the rapid melting of snow in the mountains during warm weather. Notable examples include the <a href="/w/index.php?title=1965_Denver_Flood&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="1965 Denver Flood (page does not exist)">1965 Denver Flood</a>,<a href="#cite_note-67">[65]</a> the <a href="/wiki/Big_Thompson_River" title="Big Thompson River">Big Thompson River</a> flooding of 1976 and the <a href="/wiki/2013_Colorado_floods" title="2013 Colorado floods">2013 Colorado floods</a>. Hot weather is common during summers in Denver. The city's record in 1901 for the number of consecutive days above 90 °F (32 °C) was broken during the summer of 2008. The new record of 24 consecutive days surpassed the previous record by almost a week.<a href="#cite_note-68">[66]</a> Much of Colorado is very dry, with the state averaging only 17 inches (430 millimeters) of precipitation per year statewide. The state rarely experiences a time when some portion is not in some degree of drought.<a href="#cite_note-69">[67]</a> The lack of precipitation contributes to the severity of wildfires in the state, such as the <a href="/wiki/Hayman_Fire" title="Hayman Fire">Hayman Fire</a> of 2002. Other notable fires include the <a href="/wiki/Fourmile_Canyon#Fourmile_Canyon_Fire" title="Fourmile Canyon">Fourmile Canyon Fire</a> of 2010, the <a href="/wiki/Waldo_Canyon_Fire" title="Waldo Canyon Fire">Waldo Canyon Fire</a> and <a href="/wiki/High_Park_Fire" class="mw-redirect" title="High Park Fire">High Park Fire</a> of June 2012, and the <a href="/wiki/Black_Forest_Fire" title="Black Forest Fire">Black Forest Fire</a> of June 2013.

And the Marshall Fire which started on December 30, 2021, while not the largest in state history, was the most destructive ever in terms of property loss (see <a href="/wiki/Marshall_Fire" title="Marshall Fire">Marshall Fire</a>). However, some of the mountainous regions of Colorado receive a huge amount of moisture from winter snowfalls. The spring melts of these snows often cause great waterflows in the <a href="/wiki/Yampa_River" title="Yampa River">Yampa River</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Colorado_River" title="Colorado River">Colorado River</a>, the Rio Grande, the Arkansas River, the North Platte River, and the South Platte River.

A significant amount of water is also diverted for use in California; occasionally (formerly naturally and consistently), the flow of water reaches northern Mexico. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Climate_change">Climate change</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Colorado&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Climate change">edit</a>]</div> <div class="excerpt-block"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1066933788">.mw-parser-output .excerpt-hat .mw-editsection-like{font-style:normal}</style><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable dablink excerpt-hat selfref">These paragraphs are an excerpt from <a href="/wiki/Climate_change_in_Colorado" title="Climate change in Colorado">Climate change in Colorado</a>.[<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Climate_change_in_Colorado&action=edit">edit</a>]</div><div class="excerpt"> <a href="/wiki/Climate_change_in_Colorado" title="Climate change in Colorado">Climate change in Colorado</a> encompasses the effects of <a href="/wiki/Climate_change" title="Climate change">climate change</a>, attributed to man-made increases in atmospheric <a href="/wiki/Carbon_dioxide" title="Carbon dioxide">carbon dioxide</a>, in the U.S. state of Colorado.

Southern, Southwestern, and Southeastern Colorado have a large number of Hispanos, the descendants of the early settlers of colonial Spanish origin. In 1940, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Colorado's population as 8.2% Hispanic and 90.3% non-Hispanic White.<a href="#cite_note-143">[130]</a> The Hispanic population of Colorado has continued to grow quickly over the past decades.

Price drops and financing problems in late 2008 forced these companies to cancel or scale back the uranium-mining project. As of 2016, there were no major uranium mining operations in the state, though plans existed to restart production.<a href="#cite_note-198">[185]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Electricity_generation">Electricity generation</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Colorado&action=edit&section=41" title="Edit section: Electricity generation">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Colorado" title="List of power stations in Colorado">List of power stations in Colorado</a></div> Colorado's high Rocky Mountain ridges and eastern plains offer <a href="/wiki/Wind_power_in_Colorado" title="Wind power in Colorado">wind power</a> potential, and geologic activity in the mountain areas provides the potential for <a href="/wiki/Geothermal_energy_in_the_United_States" title="Geothermal energy in the United States">geothermal power</a> development.
