Yellowstone National Park lies in rugged mountain ranges of varying elevations. The weather is different depending on where you are and even more specifically at what elevation you are at any one time. The other big thing to remember is that the weather can and does change in a heart beat.
The temperature in Yellowstone National Park will vary as much as fifty degrees in the same day. This just doesn’t happen once in a while. It happens often but mostly in the Spring and Fall. It can also happen in the Summer, just not as often. Most July days that you wake up in Yellowstone the temperature will be about 39 degrees. That same day you may find the temperature reaches the low 90’s. This isn’t rare. In fact it’s rather normal. The high may reach near 100 degrees F. during the Summer. From April to mid June and from mid September to November, you may find the temperature varies from twenty degrees to the mid eighties.
