👉 Fort Collins has a flood history: it’s not if, but when. Flooding occurs from snowmelt on the Poudre River and flash flooding from intense thunderstorms during monsoon season, which runs from mid-July to mid-August. However, it doesn’t take a large flood to cause problems. Afternoon or evening thunderstorms can cause issues in isolated areas. Basements, streets, sidewalks and trails may become unsafe. Urban flooding – know the risk.![]()
