Climate Insight: Cora, WY
The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Cora, Wyoming as a location with an annual average temperature of 35°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 51°F to a mean daily low of 20°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00482054, 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. Cora receives roughly an uncharted amount of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. For energy use, 10,867 heating degree days and 9 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Cora scores 42/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
