Rain and snow in Deloit
Deloit gets 27 inches of rain and melted snow a year. May is the wettest month and January the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 92 days a year.
About 144 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by May 7 and the first one by September 30. That leaves about 144 frost-free days for gardens, shorter than 85% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Deloit
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Deloit, 88% of that work is heating and 12% is cooling, so the furnace matters far more than the air conditioner.
Degree days measure how far each day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°, added up over a year. Source: NOAA station normals.
