Climate Guides
Climate Insight: Haugan, MT
An annual average temperature of 42°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 55°F to a mean daily low of 29°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Haugan, Montana. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00243984 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Haugan sees about 37.0 inches of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. On the energy side, 8,373 heating degree days and 96 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Haugan scores 57/100 (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 January-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.
