Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Monticello Muni receives roughly 53.0 inches of precipitation each year, with 0.7 inches typically falling as snow. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate, with the last spring freeze near March 18 and the first fall freeze near November 12. For energy use, 2,634 heating degree days and 2,322 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Monticello Muni scores 82/100 (Excellent), 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 January-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.
