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. |
