How Cold Are We Talking, Here?
Brace yourself, sunshine seekers. Denver in January is no walk in the park...well, maybe a walk in a very well-bundled park. Average highs hover around a cool 43 degrees Fahrenheit (that's a teeth-chattering 6-7 degrees Celsius for our international friends). Lows can dip down into the teens (around -6 to -8 degrees Celsius), making you seriously consider becoming best friends with your fireplace.
But hey, there's a bright side! (Literally, Denver gets tons of sunshine even in winter.) You can pack light on clothes (because bulky sweaters will be your new BFFs) and avoid that whole suitcase-exploding situation.
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
Don't Be a Frigid First-Timer: How to Survive the Denver January Chill
Listen up, January newbies! Here's how to conquer the Denver deep freeze like a champ:
- Layers are your best friend. Think thermals, a good winter coat (bonus points for faux fur!), hat, gloves, and sturdy boots. You'll look like a marshmallow person, but trust us, you'll thank yourself later.
- Embrace the apres-ski (even if you don't actually ski). Denver has some fantastic cozy bars and restaurants perfect for warming up with a hot cocoa (spiked or not, we won't judge).
- Hydrate like a fish. The dry air can be deceiving, so keep that water bottle handy to avoid that parched, cranky feeling.
- Take it slow. Denver sits a mile high, so you might feel a little winded at first. Take it easy on any strenuous activities until you're acclimated.
Bonus Tip: Pack some sunscreen! Just because it's cold doesn't mean those UV rays aren't sneaky.
