Climate Insight: Amidon, ND
Based on station USC00320209 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Amidon, North Dakota averages 45°F a year, ranging from a mean daily high of 57°F to a mean daily low of 32°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.
Beyond temperature, Amidon averages an uncharted amount of precipitation annually, predominantly as rainfall - a real factor for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. The frost-free season averages 140 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 12 and the first fall freeze near September 29. Turning to energy use, 7,995 heating degree days and 554 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Amidon scores 39/100 (Below Average), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows in the monthly tables above, summer brings July-driven heat, and winter brings January-driven cold - use that rhythm for planning. These figures are thirty-year averages rather than forecasts, so a specific year may still run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than what's shown.
