Region & Climate
Location Overview
Rimcrest on The St Charles River is located just Southwest of Pueblo, Colorado, in Pueblo County, on the eastern plains of the state. This semi-arid region is at about 5,200 feet elevation, influenced by the rain shadow of the Rocky Mountains to the west. It features abundant sunshine (over 3,600 hours annually), low humidity, and a large diurnal temperature swing (up to 40F daily). Historical data is based on records from Pueblo Memorial Airport (19912020 normals, with some dating back to 1888).
Climate Classification and General Patterns
Semi-Arid Steppe Climate: Dry overall, with low precipitation (1218 inches/305457 mm annually) and moderate temperatures. About 75% of rain falls AprilSeptember via thunderstorms; winters are dry and cold, with March as the snowiest month and April/May the wettest.
Variability: Elevation creates microclimateslower plains like this area get hotter summers and less snow than nearby foothills. Chinook winds can cause rapid winter warm-ups (up to 70F/21C). The area is on the edge of Tornado Alley, prone to hail, high winds, and occasional floods from intense storms.
Trends: Recent decades show increasing drought frequency, more extreme heat (hot days now outnumber cold ones 3:1), and variable snowfall due to climate change.
Temperature Patterns
Pueblo’s climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. More than half of summer days exceed 90F (32C). Average annual temperature: ~53.5F (11.9C).
