🌡 The weather here, in general

Bismarck gets a real winter. January nights average 8°F, and July highs reach about 83°F — a 75-degree swing across the year. Cold that deep is its own hazard: exposed skin, car batteries and water pipes all have opinions about it.

Genuinely hot days are uncommon — about 11 a year reach 90°F. That is precisely why they catch people out: air conditioning is far from universal in a place that only needs it a fortnight a year.

Snow shows up most years — about 29 inches — but rarely in quantity. 165 freezing nights a year matter more, because the risk here is ice rather than depth.

Rainfall averages about 19 inches a year, wettest in June and driest in January.
