Regional context

Drawing on NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals, Nunn's January averages 28°F and July 71°F — 43°F apart — while precipitation totals roughly 13.4 inches over some 34 days.

Summer convection drives Nunn's precipitation: May logs 2.5 inches on 6.2 rainy days, against January's 0.3 inches on 0.8 — warm-season storms carry Nunn's moisture. That puts Nunn in a summer-convective cohort with places like Pierce, CO, Ault, CO and Wellington, CO.

Nunn's growing window opens around mid-April, once Nunn's overnight lows stop freezing — sow kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. Hold Nunn's tender crops — tomatoes, peppers, basil — until 10-14 days past Nunn's last frost. Nunn's window closes around mid-November as overnight lows return below freezing. Within Nunn, cold-air pooling chills low spots by 5-10°F, shifting Nunn's local frost dates.

Similar climates: Pierce, CO, Ault, CO, Wellington, CO, Severance, CO, Eaton, CO.
