Climate Insight: Pahaska, WY
An annual average temperature of 38°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 54°F to a mean daily low of 23°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Pahaska, Wyoming. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00487031 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Pahaska receives roughly 27.2 inches of precipitation each year, with 180.5 inches typically falling as snow. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. For energy use, 9,819 heating degree days and 15 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Pahaska 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 December-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.
