The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Yellowstone NP E Ent, Wyoming as a location with an annual average temperature of 36°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 51°F to a mean daily low of 21°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00489902, 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. Yellowstone NP E Ent receives roughly 26.1 inches 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, 10,532 heating degree days and 5 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Yellowstone NP E Ent scores 57/100 (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.
