Climate Guides
Climate Insight: Polebridge, MT
Based on station USC00246615 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Polebridge, Montana averages 40°F a year, 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. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Polebridge sees about an uncharted amount of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. On the energy side, 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. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings December-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
