When McDonald customers need you: the seasons
McDonald weather, in normals: July highs around 91°F, January lows around 17°F, measured at Mc Donald, 0.1 miles away (1991-2020). Precipitation totals about 21 inches a year, with July the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 153 times a year.
