Climate and Topography Features

  Pueblo's location in eastern Colorado gives the area a dramatic topography, which also affects its climate. Compared to other parts of the state, Pueblo within the Arkansas Valley at more than 4,600 feet has a much lower elevation, yet these elevations change quickly in this area to more than 14,000 feet. This can cause thunderstorms whenever enough humidity is in the air when the cool air of the mountains meets the warm air of the valley below. The mountains also affect the moisture received in the city, most of which is lost between the Pacific Ocean and the high mountains.
