An annual average temperature of 43°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 58°F to a mean daily low of 28°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Drummond Aviation, Montana. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USW00024139 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Drummond Aviation should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 12.1 inches, with 30.5 inches typically falling as snow. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. And on the energy front, 8,138 heating degree days and 149 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Drummond Aviation scores 42/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings December-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
