The National Park Service gives us this information about the weather in Yellowstone. (Altitudes: 1600m - 3650m.  For example, we'll be at 2,240m when we visit the geyser Old Faithful.)


Spring and Fall (Americans say both Autumn and Fall)

Daytime temperatures range from 30°F to 60°F (0°C to 20°C) with overnight lows in the teens to single digits ( -5°C to -20°C).  Snow is common in the spring and fall with regular accumulations of 12 inches (30 cm) in a 24-hour period.  Be prepared for changing temperatures and weather any time of the year: more than anything else, unpredictability characterizes Yellowstone's weather.  Always be equipped with a wide range of clothing options.  Be sure to bring a warm jacket and rain gear even in the summer.


Summer

Daytime temperatures are often around 70°F (25°C) and occasionally 80°F (30°C) at lower elevations.  Nights are usually cool and temperatures may drop below freezing at higher elevations.  Thunderstorms are common in the afternoons.


Not for us, but if you are interested:

Winter
Temperatures often range from zero to 20°F (-20°C to -5°C) throughout the day.  Sub-zero temperatures are common, especially at night and at higher elevations.  The record low temperature is -66°F (-54°C).  Snowfall is highly variable.  While the average is 150 inches per year (375 cm), it is not uncommon for higher elevations to get twice that amount.
