Largest One Week Temperature Variations You’ve Experienced

Colorado is great for this kind of thing too. The time our car overheated north of Naturita, it was 100°F outside at noon. A few days later, after the car was repaired, we pitched our tent in a campground near Idaho Springs. The next morning, our tent had frost on it.

Arizona is pretty solid too. It was fairly common to be in the single digits in Flagstaff or Show Low only to drive 2-3 hours back to weather in the low 70s in Phoenix. That -14F I cited above was actually 61F in Las Vegas twelve hours prior. Elevation can play a huge part in regional swings, especially in arid areas that cool fast.

The Tampa Bay area can get some temperature swings in February - I recall one day with a foggy 35 degree morning which topped out at 82 and clear in the afternoon, and a few days similar to that throughout mid-winter. There's no benefit of elevation changes in that part of the country...
Can't remember the specifics on a week, but it's not unusual to have a few places 50-60 degree spreads in fall or late-winter, which makes packing and preparing a little confusing. Just put a little of everything in the suitcase.
If we're counting flying in the same week/seven-day span, I've had some brutal changes from 72-75 degrees in Florida to the airport exit at -10 and thick with snow. That's a little unfair to count...

Haha, try four hours. Last January it was -25 degrees in Milwaukee when I took off at General Mitchell, and after a two hour flight to Denver, it was 60 there. Then after a two hour drive up into the mountains, it was in the low teens. A total variation of 135 degrees in four hours.

Can't remember the exact temps, but there have been a few times where it has snowed one day and got into the 70s a few days later
