The long view

Telluride weather in October

The record

At 8,750 feet, October can hand Telluride a summer afternoon and a hard freeze in the same week. The forecast below comes from the National Weather Service grid over the town itself, so it reads 8,750 feet rather than the valley station.

The box canyon is high and closed in on three sides, so snow totals run deep in winter and afternoon storms arrive early in summer.

When it rains in Telluride

In the current forecast the chance peaks around 12 PM at 79 percent. 5 of the next seven days carry a chance of 30 percent or better.

Telluride readings come from the Telluride station in town. The forecast is the National Weather Service grid over Telluride itself, cell GJT 116,49. Air quality data by Open-Meteo.
