When Should You Visit?:
With hot temperatures many tourists prefer to visit Billings in the summer when average highs hit 30C in July, however, actual high temperatures can be far more on certain days. Late spring and early autumn are both fairly mild and even winter remains relatively mild due to the warming Chinook winds that often blow down this way.
