What to expect: Weather
TopSpring in the Stevens Point Area can be described as lusciously green. Right after the trees and plants begin to bloom, a lovely spring green is around before summer foliage colors set in. The temperature in May tends to sit in the high 60s and the low is mid-40s. Spring weather varies dramatically especially in late March to early April. Both a snowstorm and rain are equally possible- so make sure to look ahead at the forecast!
Summer is an ideal time of year to visit Wisconsin. As June turns to July, rich green views are the norm in Wisconsin, with nature in full bloom. High temperatures typically range from mid-70s to low-80s, with lows between 50-60. As temps rise, so does humidity – though it’s not uncomfortably high. Weather can be unpredictable so to be prepared pack rain gear and layers.
Fall in the Stevens Point Area is incredibly gorgeous and colorful with the turning of the leaves. The high in October is in the mid-50s and the low is high-30s. It gets chilly, especially after the sunsets so be prepared with layers.
Winter in the Stevens Point Area is fantastic for outdoor recreation especially when it snows! The typical range in December is high 20s to low 10s. However, a cold-snap is always possible but more prevalent into January and February when temps can go below 0.
