What is the Weather Like for Grand Canyon Rafting Trips on the Colorado River?

We are constantly asked from passengers what the weather will be like on their upcoming rafting trip. Here’s a good average chart:

WEATHER - Temperatures can vary, but the following chart shows average temperatures and precipitation for the months of March through October. The humidity is usually very low. Water temperatures average about 50-60 degrees all summer long. Since water temperatures are cold, you will probably wear your rain gear when running rapids. This is especially true early in the morning, on cloudy days or on early season trips.
