Sheridan Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southwest Montana is a mountainous area at between the 4,000 - 7,000 foot elevation, and almost exactly halfway between the equator and the north pole. Due to the elevation, the climate is sub-arctic, with cold, sometimes bitterly cold winters, and warm, but brief summers. During summer, the temperature rarely exceeds 78 degrees F., with an average low of 41 degrees F. Summer thunderstorms are common. Spring and autumn are cool days and cold nights, although fall generally has plenty of sunshine. Winters in the higher elevations can be very cold with nighttime lows dropping below zero most nights. Precipitation is highly variable and ranges from 15 to 80 inches in the southwest portions of Yellowstone National Park. Snow is actually possible in any month of the year, with an average of 150 inches at Yellowstone Lake, to twice that amount in the higher elevations.
