Climate. Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures can be well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter temperatures can be as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit.They typically have between 10 and 35 inches of precipitation a year, much of it occurring in the late spring and early summer.limate.

Climate of the Temperate Grassland Biome. Temperate grassland biomes have a semiarid climate and normally receive between 15 and 30 inches of precipitation per year. Much of the precipitation they receive falls in the form of snow during the winter months.Depending on the latitude of the temperate grassland, they often experience long, hot summers.ue to the relatively low amount of precipitation received in these grasslands, it is difficult for trees and large shrubs to survive. For this reason, the majority of plants found in the biome consist of different types of grasses.
