St. Cloud, MN.The average temperature is important for determining when people will most likely use the river corridor inSt. Cloud. April through October have average temperatures roughly above 50F, which is suitable weatherfor outside activity. The cooler months of November to March can be expected to have less outdoor activityalong the river corridor. These months will need to incorporate winter activities such as skiing and iceskating.In 2010, the annually temperature was 44.4F and the annual temperature through 1981 to 2010 was 42.8F.This could mean temperature may be slightly rising as the years go on.
