Degree days measure how far each day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°, added up over a year. Source: NOAA station normals.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Clyde Park itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Wilsall 8 Ene, MT (11 mi, snow) and Wilsall 1s, MT (8 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals, 1991–2020 and 1901–2000.
