About Teller County Weather
Teller's high-altitude climate runs cool
Teller County averages 41.0°F annually, about 6°F below the U.S. median of 47°F, reflecting its mountain location south of Colorado Springs. Annual precipitation of 16.5 inches falls mostly as snow due to elevation, creating a true alpine climate.
Well below Colorado's average, above Summit
At 41.0°F, Teller runs 5°F colder than Colorado's state average of 46.0°F, though it ranks warmer than high-alpine Summit County. This positioning makes Teller a transitional zone between plains and mountain climates.
Warmer plains meet colder peaks here
Teller's 41.0°F sits between Summit County's frigid 37.0°F and the warmer plains counties like Sedgwick (49.8°F), reflecting its position on the Front Range. The county's extreme heat days are zero, shared only with Summit among the region.
Cold winters, mild summers, heavy snow
January averages 23.4°F while July reaches only 61.3°F, a moderate 37-degree spread compared to plains counties' wider swings. Teller receives 58.9 inches of snow annually—nearly 5 feet—and zero days above 90°F, meaning cooling is never a concern.
Invest in snow removal and winter heating
With almost 59 inches of annual snowfall and sub-zero winter nights, Teller residents need reliable four-wheel drive, snow tires, and dependable heating systems. Summer's mild 61°F average means outdoor recreation extends longer than in true high country, but snow can arrive any month of the year.
