Middle of June weather in Yellowstone
Going to Yellowstone next year around middle of June. Would like to know what kind of weather can you expect at that time of year.

- Who knows?
Weather can vary year by year. Being at altitude in the Rockies I would guess you could see sunny warm days, cool to cold nights. But you could also see snow. Likely there could be snow still on the ground in the surrounding mountains for sure, but also down on the valley floor. Watch the mountain weather this winter. If snow pack is heavy expect some camp grounds to be closed until early July. - A lot of folks don't realize that YNP is at high altitude 8000 ft. And it's also further north than the great circle route parks. So it is somewhat cooler in general, this year in June it had a max of 78 deg F and a min of 48. Picking a year at random, 2000, it was almost exactly the same. However it can and will snow any time it feels like it. We have been snowed on twice on the 4th of July there, years ago. But we aren't up there most years. Summer snow doesn't usually last long tho.
- Usually nice by then its the beginning of summer. I'd worry about the crowds.

I too was going to suggest checking historical weather information, so I tried this page, and it's a little finicky, so try this one instead. You may have to reenter the month. Highs in the 60's, lows in the 30's in June. Lovely camping weather!- Here's the national park's web site with weather information. Explore this site for lots of good information on roads, campgrounds, special alerts, opening dates, things to do, etc.
We all know how weather changes. There's no given. Bring warm clothes and blankets. Be prepared.
https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/weather.htm - We were there in May 2106. The weather was nice. High 50's low 60's and sunny during the day. High 30's low 40's at night. No snow.
- Was there in June, 1984. There was still lots of snow on the ground and it was chilly.

LOL a time traveler, probably came back to YNP to see it before the future eruption, future to us that is, eruption destroyed the park....hehCrowe wrote:
