As a rule, natives do not attempt to predict Montana weather. Snow rarely lingers in Billings for long, and the city usually avoids the extremes of cold and heat. Summer high temperatures range from the mid-80s to just over 100 in Billings. But low humidity makes most hot days comfortable, and temperatures are more likely to top out in the 80s or 90s than climbing to 100. Billings' nighttime temperatures also cool into the 50s to 70s during summer, whisking away daytime heat to allow comfortable sleeping weather.
