Since the topography of the Roadside permit area forms a trough
running northeast to southwest along with major axis of DeBeque
Canyon, the Grand Junction wind rose (Figure S-2) which reflects
the average speed and direction of the prevailing winds in the general
area over a 33-year period until 1979, is oriented to reflect the direction
of the prevailing wind from the northeast down the canyon.
(c) Temperatures at Grand Junction have ranged from 105° to -23°;
however, readings of 100° or higher are infrequent, and about one-third
of the winters have no readings below zero. Summer days with
maximum temperatures in the middle and low nineties and minimum in
the low sixties are common. Mean monthly temperatures and daily
maximum and minimum temperatures for each month are tabulated in
Table 8-2.
