Climate Insight: Moran, WY
Based on station USC00486440 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Moran, Wyoming averages 36°F a year, ranging from a mean daily high of 49°F to a mean daily low of 22°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.
Beyond temperature, Moran averages 25.4 inches of precipitation annually, with 174.9 inches typically falling as snow - a real factor for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. Turning to energy use, 10,688 heating degree days and 10 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Moran scores 47/100 (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.
