Montpelier is located at a relatively low altitude, 182 meters above sea level. Montpelier has a wet continental climate (type Dfb according to the Köppen climate classification) with long and cold winters with large amounts of snowfall. Spring and fall are short and summers are warm. During the summer average maximum temperatures are between 23-26 degrees Celsius (73-79 degrees Fahrenheit) with 4 to 10 days on which temperatures exceed 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).

Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
