Columbus runs the full range. The warmest stretch, around July, averages a high near 84°F, while January nights average 23°F — a 61-degree spread, so a coat that works in January is useless by July and the other way round.
The thermometer rarely spikes — only about 7 days a year top 90°F — but it hardly needs to. Summer sits in the mid-eighties for months at a stretch, and with humidity on top of it the heat index runs well above what the air temperature suggests.
Snow shows up most years — about 18 inches — but rarely in quantity. 97 freezing nights a year matter more, because the risk here is ice rather than depth.
Rainfall averages about 47 inches a year, wettest in June and driest in November.
