Detroit Lakes Weather

1993 - 2008
Average Temperatures and Precipitation Data



The winter of 2010/2011 was a few degrees colder than average (especially compared to recent years), but continued a pattern of significantly higher nighttime low temperatures.  With only one night of minus 30 temperatures,  and no days when the temperature failed to reach minus 10,  it was not a notably severe winter.

 

With over 71 inches,  it was snowy,  the snowiest winter since record-breaking 1996/97 (but not by much, since 2008/09 had 68 inches and 2007/08 marked 66 inches).  

 

So far this year (mid-May)  total moisture is running about 45 percent over the average,  continuing the very wet pattern of last year
