| Grand Canyon Climate |
|
GENERAL CLIMATE:
The Grand Canyon is the world's premiere chasm of incredible proportions.
It is this unique characteristic that sets it apart and yet it is
also this characteristic that makes it similar to what some have classified
as "an inverted mountain", in essence, the negative image
of a colossal mountain range. Temperatures and climate vary greatly
depending on the location within the Canyon and the season of the
year that one is experiencing.
NORTH RIM: The North Rim sits approximately
1,500 feet higher in elevation than the South Rim, making it colder
in the winter and damper during the monsoon seasons. The North Rim
receives over 200" of snow in a season, at times 6-10 feet deep
and is closed for the majority of the year between approximately October
16th and May 15th. Summer temperatures at the North Rim may reach
as high as 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 40 degrees in the winter.
SOUTH RIM: The South Rim is relatively
pleasant throughout the year, receiving less than 16" of precipitation
annually with very mild snowfalls. Temperatures at the South Rim range
from summer highs of 70-84 degrees Fahrenheit to winter highs of 40-50
degrees. Together, the North and South Rims and the Inner Gorge form
a highly integrated environment that provides dramatic contrast.
INNER GORGE: The Inner Gorge is much
more dramatic in its temperature swings than the North or South Rims,
namely owing to the angles of the sun during the winter and summer
seasons. During the summer, the sun is high and literally can bake
the Inner Gorge. Temperatures can reach as high as 106 degrees Fahrenheit
in July. The winter sun, on the other hand, is low and temperatures
can drop to 35 degrees Fahrenheit in January.
MONSOONS: Monsoons generally begin in
July and continue through August, which is typically the wettest month
of the year at the Grand Canyon. Monsoons have the ability to result
in flash flooding throughout the Canyon, in which rainwater traverses
rocky desert landscapes and overwhelms canyon gullies. Campers and
hikers need to use precaution during potentially dangerous rainstorms. |
