Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 82°F (28.0°C), and the coolest is Jan at 32°F (0.2°C). About 849 mm (33 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (131 mm) and Jan the driest (24 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
