So, while Montana might experience more cold than hot (or even warm) days, there is one town set a record high and one town that is the warmest all year round in Montana.

You can claim that 117° is a "dry heat" but so is my oven. Dry or not that's too hot for me.

While you might be like me and not want to live in a place that reaches triple digits regularly, you also don't want to live in a place that is constantly below zero either.

Well there is one place that can be considered the hottest place in Montana.

According to the website Extreme Weather Watch this town has an average temperature of 48.6°

That might not seem that warm, but considering the long winter months in Montana, that sounds pretty nice.
