Long term average measurements for temperature, humidity, and precipitation cycles.
The climate profile for Butte Valley National Grassland provides comprehensive twelve month data based on the 1991 to 2020 period. Measurements include average daily maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation rates, wind speeds, relative humidity levels, and total daylight hours recorded at a representative point at 1404.78 meters elevation. These figures establish the statistical rhythm of atmospheric conditions throughout the year rather than providing current daily forecasts.

See two months side by side and how much they differ. Both use the same 1991–2020 climate normals and NASA POWER data point as the table above, so they show typical conditions, not a forecast.
