What is the climate like here?

NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals, the thirty-year averages weather forecasters mean by "normal": annual snowfall on the map, with mean temperature, January lows and July highs, days at 90°F or above and below freezing, rainfall, and heating and cooling degree days on the card. Ohio has 130 stations with temperature normals, 252 with precipitation and only 93 with snowfall, so each ZIP borrows from the nearest station reporting each element and names it. The Lake Erie snowbelt east of Cleveland gets four to five times the snow of the Ohio River counties. The card also carries the county's drought history from the U.S. Drought Monitor: weeks in drought since 2020, the worst spell since 2000 and the current status. NOAA's county series since 1895 gives the long-run warming and the change in yearly rainfall.

1,229 of 1,233 ZIPs have data; median 24.5 in.
