Climate Chart of Saint Paul, USA

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures range from -9.0 °C in January to 22.9 °C in July. These are averages for the months, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they provide a broad guide to the temperature pattern rather than a forecast for a particular day. The unweighted mean of the monthly means is 7.8 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in May, at 4.27 mm/day, and lowest in January, at 0.09 mm/day. The lowest monthly mean may be a useful option for visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, but it does not guarantee dry days or indicate how often rain occurs. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 2.19 mm/day; these figures are daily averages, not monthly rainfall totals.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in February, at 6.91 mm/day. The unweighted mean across the monthly means is 2.93 mm/day. These snowfall averages do not establish how many days have snow, its depth, whether snow cover persists, or whether conditions are suitable for skiing.

Sunshine

Daily sunshine averages are highest in July, at 12.10 hours/day, and lowest in December, at 4.47 hours/day. These monthly averages can help with planning outdoor time around brighter or less sunny periods, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear skies on a given day. The unweighted mean of the monthly means is 8.17 hours/day.

Best Travel Time Guide for Saint Paul, USA: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant point in the temperature record, with a mean of -9.0 °C. That figure is a monthly average, not a promise about conditions on travel dates, so check a current forecast and prepare for day-to-day variation. If lower average rainfall is your priority, January is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 0.09 mm/day; this does not guarantee rain-free days. For rain preparation, note that the highest monthly mean daily rainfall occurs in May, at 4.27 mm/day. These averages do not quantify rain frequency, so flexible outdoor plans and suitable rainwear remain useful.

For daylight outdoor planning, mean daily sunshine is highest in July at 12.10 hours/day, while the lowest mean is in December at 4.47 hours/day. These values describe sunshine duration, not day length or the weather on a particular day. Temperature, rainfall and sunshine point to separate planning criteria rather than a single universally best time to visit. Snowfall records show the highest monthly mean daily amount in February, at 6.91 mm/day. This average alone cannot tell you how many snowy days to expect or whether snow will cover the ground, so it is not enough to assess snow conditions for a specific trip.
