Montana Is Hotter Than A Hoochie Coochie. What’s The Hottest Day?
This summer has been a hot one that's for sure. The farmers almanac has been spot on so far, predicting a wet June and a dry July.
Temperatures for the last couple of weeks has been in the 80s and 90s, wild fires are starting to make more and more appearances, and the air has been thick. The amount of sunblock sold this summer should be pretty high.
As we are blasting our air conditioners in our homes, apartments, and vehicles, we should keep in mind that this summer has been no comparison to the hottest day on record.
Back on July 20th, 1893, Montana had a record high of 117 degrees. DANG THAT'S HOT! This record holding temperature took place in Glendive, MT. Just on the border of North Dakota.
The record temperature was recorded again on July 5th, 1937. This time the temperature was recorded in Medicine Lake, MT.
It's not a surprise that July is the hottest month throughout Montana, with temperatures ranging from 64-88 degrees as an average. Although, we have been seeing temperatures sticking in the 80's and 90's this July.
If you are planning a trip to Montana, summer months are always great as travel isn't effected as much by weather, although keep in mind it is also our construction season. So having delays should be something you are prepared for.
If you hate hot weather, you may want to avoid Montana's hottest Month. The fall in Montana is just as beautiful with the changing of colors throughout the mountain ranges. Either way, Montana is stunning for all seasons.
