Wyoming is both high in elevation and far removed from any large body of water and thus experiences wide fluctuations in temperature from season to season and even from day to night. The map below shows average low temperatures in January in the western United States. Notice the difference between the coast and interior mountain region. Location and climate Distance from the ocean is not the only factor that determines Wyoming’s extreme climate. The state’s average elevation is 6,700 feet above sea level, the second highest in the nation. Because temperatures are cooler at higher elevations, the state is far cooler than others at a similar latitude near the coast.
