Denver and Salt Lake City are the two largest cities in the mountain west. They both have continental semi-arid climates, but with some notable differences: - Salt Lake City has more seasonal variation, but Denver has more day-to-day variability. - Salt Lake City has dry summers, and Denver has dry winters. - Salt Lake City has cloudy winters and very sunny summers, but Denver gets plenty of sunshine year-round. Which climate do you prefer? Denver   Salt Lake City

Denver is much better. Milder more variable winters and cooler stormier summers.

Denver is better. I've been to both.
SLC is in a shitty no man's land between more interesting plains weather and boring PNW climates.

SLC, more stable, less chance of May or September snow  , and dry in summer, when Denver sees cloudy afternoons and rain chances regularly in summer |

Both places interest me from a climate aspect.... we have nothing like within AU, so yeah, would like to experience them climatically.
Live there ? yeah nah, fuck that ! ( those winters...... )
Probably SLC on a vote, but really for me its the toss of a coin.

SLC for the hot, dry summers, wetter winters, and less shoulder season snow |

Salt Lake City, primarily for more predictable weather and less spring snow

Denver, because of a less frequent winter inversion layer. SLC often has pollution issues because the mountains trap the air.

Salt Lake. I doubt they're both that sunny though...3,000-3,1000 hours? That's San Diego/LA level...Something is not right here

SLC is less sunny than Denver, but still pretty sunny. I know, but I just thought that since they're more northernmost and rather inward I expected them to be prone to polar vortexes in some winters where they get immense and sustained cloud cover from time to time. |

There is no sustained cloud cover there in winter. |

Denver. Not a fan of Salt Lake City's tendency to get "stuck."
