🌡 The weather here, in general
Richmond runs the full range. The warmest stretch, around July, averages a high near 90°F, while January nights average 31°F — a 59-degree spread, so a coat that works in January is useless by July and the other way round.
Expect around 41 days a year at 90°F or above, concentrated in July. Heat illness climbs sharply on consecutive hot days, so the third day of a streak is more dangerous than the first.
Snow shows up most years — about 9 inches — but rarely in quantity. 54 freezing nights a year matter more, because the risk here is ice rather than depth.
Rainfall averages about 45 inches a year, wettest in May and driest in November.
