TRAVELER INFO CLIMATE SPRING MINNESOTA’S Part of Minnesota’s appeal is that it offers four distinct seasons, each with its own particular pleasures. WINTER December–March here has earned a reputation for its occasional extremes, but the average winter day is quite comfortable for outdoor activities like skiing or snowmobiling. For instance, the average high daytime temperature in the Twin Cities in January, the coldest month, is in the mid-20s. April–May features warming days, with high temperatures in the Twin Cities progressing from 50 degrees in early April to the low 70s by the end of May. Trees leaf out in bright greens, robins and other migrating birds return, and tulips and daffodils poke up from the earth. SUMMER June–August brings daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s (and occasionally, in the 90s). The easygoing days of summer boast daylight late into the evening, with abundant sunshine to brighten outdoor fun. FALL September–November brings cooling temperatures and, with them, the bright colors of trees and grasses as they change from their lush summer green. This time of transition starts with daytime highs in the 70s and finishes with highs in the 30s by the end of November. Find more ways to visit Minnesota and plan your trip today!
