Climate
The most memorable aspect of the weather at Waterton Lakes National Park is the wind. In the spring, there are gentle breezes and in the winter the wind alternates from strong gusts and powerful chinooks. A day without wind in Waterton is unusual. South and southwesterly winds prevail for most of the year and range from 32 kilometers per hour (breezes) to 160 kilometers per hour (gales). Fall and winter are the windiest months.
