===Climate===
Montgomery has a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cfa''), with short, mild winters, warm springs and autumns, and long, hot, humid summers. The daily average temperature in January is {{convert|46.6|°F|1}}, and there are 3.4 days of sub {{convert|20|°F|0}} lows; {{convert|10|°F|0}} and below is extremely rare. The daily average in July is {{convert|81.8|°F|1}}, with highs exceeding {{convert|90|°F|1}} on 86 days per year and {{convert|100|°F|1}} on 3.9. Summer afternoon heat indices, much more often than the actual air temperature, are frequently at or above 100&nbsp;°F.<ref name=NCDC>{{cite web |url=http://cdo.ncdc.noaa.gov/climatenormals/clim20/al/015550.pdf |title=Climatography of the United States No. 20 (1971–2000) |year=2004 |publisher=[[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] |access-date=June 25, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130723032656/http://cdo.ncdc.noaa.gov/climatenormals/clim20/al/015550.pdf |archive-date=July 23, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The [[diurnal temperature variation]] tends to be large in spring and autumn. Rainfall is well-distributed throughout the year, though February, March and July are the wettest months, while October is significantly the driest month. Snowfall occurs only during some winters, and even then is usually light. Substantial snowstorms are rare, but do occur approximately once every 10 years.

Thunderstorms bring much of Montgomery's rainfall. These are common during the summer months but occur throughout the year. Severe thunderstorms – producing large hail and damaging winds in addition to the usual hazards of lightning and heavy rain – can occasionally occur, particularly during the spring. Severe storms also bring a risk of [[tornadoes]]. Sometimes, tropical disturbances – some of which strike the Gulf Coast as hurricanes before losing intensity as they move inland – can bring very heavy rains.
