Minneapolis Climate

Humid continental climate. One of the coldest major hub airports in the United States. Winters are severe (−15 to −2°C, November–March) with heavy snow and extreme cold snaps. Delta's de-icing operation at MSP is among the largest in the US, but heavy blizzards cause ground stops and cascading delays. Wind chill below −30°C occurs multiple times each winter.

Summers are warm and pleasant (22–30°C) with occasional severe thunderstorms in June–August. Spring brings tornado risk in the broader region. MSP has a strong snow operations record. Cancellations happen, but the airport manages heavy snowfall better than many eastern hubs. Pack serious winter gear from November through March.

Check current weather forecasts before travel.
