Climate Insight: ST Cloud Rgnl, MN
An annual average temperature of 43°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 53°F to a mean daily low of 33°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for ST Cloud Rgnl, Minnesota. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USW00014926 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in ST Cloud Rgnl should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 28.5 inches, with 47.9 inches typically falling as snow. The frost-free season averages 146 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 7 and the first fall freeze near September 30. And on the energy front, 8,490 heating degree days and 468 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, ST Cloud Rgnl scores 49/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above are the practical planning tool: mild highs and lows land in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat peaks in summer, and January-driven cold sets in over deep winter. These are thirty-year averages, not a forecast - any single year can run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal.
