Climate Insight: Burgess Junction, WY

The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Burgess Junction, Wyoming as a location with an annual average temperature of 35°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 47°F to a mean daily low of 23°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while February is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00481220, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.

Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Burgess Junction receives roughly 24.1 inches of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate, with the last spring freeze near N/A and the first fall freeze near N/A. For energy use, 11,092 heating degree days and 5 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Burgess Junction scores 57/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows — shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for July-driven heat, or deep winter for February-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
