July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. As thirty-year averages computed from 2 weather stations, these numbers smooth out year-to-year noise into a working baseline for a typical month.

Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Moose receives roughly 24.1 inches of precipitation each year, with seasonal snowfall possible. The frost-free season averages 65 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near June 24 and the first fall freeze near August 28. For energy use, 10,280 heating degree days and 16 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Moose scores 54/100 (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.
