Methodology

How the U.S. land temperature anomaly tracks against the global mean since 1900. The current NOAA 1991-2020 normal for Polebridge captures average conditions across the spread shown — the most recent decade is warmer than the 30-year mean.

Climate Insight: Polebridge, MT

The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Polebridge, Montana as a location with an annual average temperature of 40°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 55°F to a mean daily low of 25°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00246615, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.

Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Polebridge receives roughly an uncharted amount of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate, with the last spring freeze near N/A and the first fall freeze near N/A. For energy use, 9,281 heating degree days and 43 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Polebridge scores 42/100 (Moderate), 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 December-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.
