This live camera looks out over Yuma, a small farming town on the high plains of northeastern Colorado. It is useful if you want a quick look at the sky, fields and street conditions before driving through the area or simply want to see what the weather is doing out on the prairie right now.
Yuma sits in Yuma County, in the flat, open country of eastern Colorado about 1,260 metres above sea level. The town grew around agriculture and the railroad, and its character is shaped by wheat, corn and cattle ranching. The landscape is wide and treeless, so the horizon and the sky tend to dominate every view. Visitors often describe the region as quiet, with long straight roads and large open distances between towns.
Because the land is so flat, the camera is most interesting when the weather is changing. Clouds build quickly over the plains in spring and summer, and sunrise and sunset light up the sky across long distances. Storms can move in fast during warm months, so watching the sky can give a sense of what is coming. Activity in town is usually calm, though you may notice traffic and farm vehicles depending on the view and time of day.
Yuma has a semi-arid continental climate with hot summers, cold winters and modest rainfall. Late spring and early autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for travel, while winter can bring snow and strong wind. The nearby cameras at Akron, Wray, Lone Mountain and Holyoke show other points across the same region, which helps you compare conditions over a wider area of the plains.
