🌡 The weather here, in general
Springfield runs the full range. The warmest stretch, around July, averages a high near 85°F, while January nights average 21°F — a 64-degree spread, so a coat that works in January is useless by July and the other way round.
The thermometer rarely spikes — only about 14 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 is a real feature of the year: roughly 33 inches falls in an average year, mostly across January, February, March and December. With 111 nights a year at or below freezing, ice on the roads is a longer season than snow on the ground.
Rainfall averages about 48 inches a year, wettest in July and driest in November.
