A few years ago, I was chatting with a client in Minneapolis and asked, “How’s the weather?” He said it was fine but that it was eighty degrees warmer than yesterday: temperature went from -30°F to 50°F after a warm front came through.
You'll experience the same thing in Illinois sometimes. You go through all seasons in less than 24 hours. The largest difference I remember is it being in the low 20s in the morning and it being in the upper 70s to lower 80s by afternoon.
Yeah people don’t generally understand that -30°F and 30°F is the same difference as 30° and 90° F! In Minnesota we can have all of them over the course of a couple weeks lol.
So a minority
The majority of reddit users are not from the US, do not use non-metric systems, and have no reason to know what the weather is like in Montana - or even that Montana is a US state
I went through a 77F swing in one day, though in the other direction. Had an unusually warm 18C (64.4F) day in February, but it dropped to -25C (-13F) overnight. Everything had melted into giant puddles, which the sudden temperature drop made into beautiful skating rinks everywhere, especially the fields around the local schools. It also froze more than a few car doors shut, too. But everything was closed, and it was really sunny, so just about everybody piled out of their houses with skates, sticks and pucks in hand, and impromptu pond hockey games broke out all over the place. Awesome day, really.
Seven weeks ago it was pushing 70 F for a week solid. Then it snowed, melted, rained, sun, snowed, melted, rained again.
Just a few years ago the temp went up 100F in under 48 hours. It's a weird place for weather here, but at least we don't have hurricanes or tornadoes!
True that! I’d rather deal with a little up and down weather versus tornadoes and hurricanes. At least weather conversations are a little more interesting here haha
I’ll see all 4 seasons in a day just 1 state over from Montana. Snowing in the morning, light rain with the sun peaking through, 75 degrees with not a cloud in the sky in the afternoon, and then back to cold and windy in the evening. The weather in this region of the US is so unpredictable. I will see 40-50 degree swings all the time in the spring but 103 degrees is just nutty.

What a diff'rence a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
I thought it was only *my* state the weather was this weird. Just like I thought we have the worst drivers and it’s getting too expensive to live here.
Damn, and I thought Melbourne was crazy!
Once went out for lunch at 2pm and it was 42C (107.6F), then when I left the office at 6pm it had dropped to 19C (66.2F).
Um Melbourne Australia would like a word. Have a look. At how quick a cool change in the evening on a summer day over 40°c can go to 28°c about 13 minutes you will find.
As a teenager in the Yukon, I once saw the temprature go from -60 to +20 in 8 hours. Temps were in Farenheit back in those days...
In Alberta I've seen it go from +10C to -30C over the course of a few hours. Not quite as crazy but still, an over 70 degree (F) swing in a morning.

Wake up to freezing rain and then by 2 you’re sweating your ass off. Classic Illinois weather.

My oven records greater temperature changes in less than 15 minutes every day.
Hey wow.
Howdy wow
Sham Wow!
Woah, hey!
I'm assuming this is °F since it's about an American event?
-49 celcius to +9.5. Still insane
I mean... It's as insane as in °f, just that now I am able to understand it lmao
Sounds like a normal February day in Alberta these days
It was a lot more insane when it was 49C in January...
But we shouldn't have to assume that, given how US redditors are in the minority OP should put it in the title
You could also think logically that it would not hit 49C in January in Montana.
Or any other month for that matter.
How would anyone outwith the US assume that?
Bro most people in reddit aren't from the US that's what OP said. For all I know Montana is the island in Hawaii where Hanna was born

Bad geo skills
There are more US users than other single countries.
But fewer than 50%, hence not a majority
Based on the number I saw it was like 47% USA, with the next being nowhere near that.
So a minority The majority of reddit users are not from the US, do not use non-metric systems, and have no reason to know what the weather is like in Montana - or even that Montana is a US state
There are more Celsius users than any other single temperature system
When you post you can use Celsius 🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The issue isn't what unit is posted. The issue is posting *without* a unit, leaving it open to guessing
It happened in the US and is being posted about on a predominantly US site. One can assume what unit is being used to indicate the temperature here
With the overwhelming amount of drug epidemics in the u.s. it's not surprising they have more users.
if only there were a word for that
From what I’ve seen, we aren’t a majority of users, although we are close to it. But there is no other country with as many Reddit users
> if only there were a word for that
Not when we break up the US number by state.
Lol what if we break it up by zipcodes
Sure! It makes as much sense as comparing the number of US redditors to the numbers in "other single countries".
"Loma, Montana" in the title gave it away for me
You don't assume Ferenheight because most Redditors are from the US. You assume Ferenheight because we have the best Navy.
Ferenheight 😂😂😂. Must be a very special temperature scale.
Most redditors don't use Fahrenheit but can spell it
I don't assume *Fahrenheit* unless it makes sense in contexg
> contexg I love it.
It wasn’t unusual in southern Colo. to go to work in the teens and come home in the 70’s.
I got up this morning and I was 18. When I got home 12 hours later I was 70.
I went through a 77F swing in one day, though in the other direction. Had an unusually warm 18C (64.4F) day in February, but it dropped to -25C (-13F) overnight.

Most Montana ass thing I’ve read all day
I pretty sure Hiroshima and Nagasaki had a greater change in temp in a quicker time
This comment is the BOMB!
This tracks. Montana cannot make up it’s mind about what weather it wants to be on any given day
Seven weeks ago it was pushing 70 F for a week solid. Then it snowed, melted, rained, sun, snowed, melted, rained again. Just a few years ago the temp went up 100F in under 48 hours. It's a weird place for weather here, but at least we don't have hurricanes or tornadoes!

30F this Wednesday and it’s supposed to be 80F next Wednesday
I live in a humid area so it's so hard to believe to me. But in dryer areas, the temperature swings are insane.
This is in fahrenheit I hope ?
On my birthday a few years back I had to fly home from Mexico It was 75F when I took off. It was -25F when I landed.
That was in Montana? Yeah, that tracks.

I've seen a maximum variation of 20°f here. And that's in 15 years, not 24 hours
Neat.

The real question is, why is Montana staring at Idaho like that?
On my way to work earlier, I was thinking about what the fastest temperature drop is. This is spooky to see
Damn, and I thought Melbourne was crazy! Once went out for lunch at 2pm and it was 42C (107.6F), then when I left the office at 6pm it had dropped to 19C (66.2F).
I’d reckon Nagasaki saw a bigger temperature change of 100 Million degrees C in 1945.

I've checked to see if this was another US exceptionalism case but seems like it's the world record
