Denver is no stranger to hail — in fact, Colorado consistently ranks among the top states for hail-related insurance claims. While most people associate hail with the peak months of June and July, late summer storms can be just as damaging. August sits squarely within Denver’s official hail season, which runs from mid-April through mid-September, meaning drivers should still be on high alert for sudden, costly weather events. At Hail Medic, we understand these risks and are here to help you respond quickly to protect your vehicle’s value and avoid long-term damage.
Colorado’s Front Range experiences unique weather conditions that make hailstorms a common summer occurrence. The official hail season lasts from April through September, with the highest frequency typically occurring in June and July. However, history shows that damaging hail is still possible well into August—and sometimes beyond.
August storms often catch drivers off guard because the perceived “peak” has passed. Yet, late-season hail can arrive suddenly, fueled by unstable air masses and monsoon moisture. In recent years, Denver has seen August hail as large as golf balls, causing significant damage to vehicles in just minutes. Staying prepared this month is just as important as it was in early summer.
Don’t let the calendar fool you—August storms can be intense. The combination of warm ground temperatures and cooler air aloft creates prime conditions for large hail formation. When high winds drive that hail, even small stones can create dozens of shallow dents across a vehicle’s surface.
Late-summer hail damage isn’t just cosmetic. Dings and dents can lower your vehicle’s resale value, and in severe cases, impact structural integrity. For independent drivers who rely on their cars daily, quick repairs are key to avoiding more serious issues down the road.
