===Climate===
Browning has a warm-summer [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfb''), bordering on a [[subarctic climate]], as well as cold [[semi-arid]]. From January 23 to January 24, 1916, the temperature fell 100&nbsp;°F (56&nbsp;°C), from 44&nbsp;°F (7&nbsp;°C) to −56&nbsp;°F (−49&nbsp;°C), the world record for greatest temperature drop in 24 hours.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/tfx/tx.php?wfo=tfx&type=html&loc=text&fx=topweather| title = Top Ten Montana Weather Events of the 20th Century | work =National Weather Service Unveils Montana's Top Ten Weather/Water/Climate Events of the 20th Century  | publisher = National Weather Service | access-date = 2015-06-01}}</ref>
Browning's climate is [[semi-arid climate|semi-arid]] and [[continental climate|continental]]. Temperatures above {{convert|90|°F}} occur an average of twice annually, temperatures below {{convert|32|°F}} occur an average of 196 days annually, and those below {{convert|0|°F}} occur an average of 32 days annually. There is a large degree of [[diurnal temperature variation]] that occurs in the summer, but not as much in the winter. Large temperature swings are possible, especially in fall, winter, and spring. Arctic-air intrusions from western Canada can bring sudden, severe temperature drops, while [[Chinook wind|chinook]] events, with Pacific-originating warmer air descending from mountain ranges to the west, can result in dramatic temperature rises. Precipitation averages just over 14 inches per year, rendering the climate semi-arid. From November to March or April, the precipitation is primarily snow. Average monthly precipitation is lowest in winter and highest in the warm season. On average, June is the wettest month, with showers and thunderstorms most likely among all months.
