Weather Spring 2016

[Nomomo07]

I just try to embrace whatever the weather happens to be on a given day and move on with life. I'm usually fairly happy, as long as it doesn't drop into single digits.

I absolutely enjoy this weather pattern, I'll take this any day over scorching sun and 90F. There is an older abandoned field near where I live and you wouldn't believe how fast the trees are growing back in with all the rain and cooler temperatures.

I would take this weather over that 90F as well but 90F isn't what we normally have right now (early to mid May) is it? There are a lot of people saying they enjoy this cold wet spell. Is spring weather in Ohio normally so unpleasant that this is better?

I guess I'm complaining because I assumed 65-75 Spring weather.

Spring weather is somewhere between five below in January and 105 in July.

I have a legal right to expect emergency service from building maintenance if the temperature is over 85 and the air conditioner fails as that is considered a health hazard.

So 65-75 seems about right for the theoretical range of highs... and the average is probably about right in there.

But in reality, it often seems we sail right through the 60s and low 70s (maybe a couple of weeks) and go right into mid 80s by mid May.. where it stays (with occasional forays into the 90s and low triple digits) until September..

So 60s (and dry!) is a welcome issue for some of us.

If the temperature outside is 85 and over, it's a health hazard -- the gubmint sez so.

Advice for thermostat settings run from 68 to 72, the lower numbers from "energy saving" sources. That's supposedly the comfort range for humans (doesn't matter what part of the year it is or what's outside).

You are correct in that the weather in Cincinnati does not differ all that much from Northeast TN. The annual average temperature is less than a degree different (54.65 in Cincinnati vs. 55.6 for the Tri-Cities). Even the difference in snowfall isn't that great with Cincinnati receiving on average 6 inches more annually than the Tri-Cities (although we actually received more this year) and total annual precip. is essentially equal. The weather in Cincinnati, to me at least, seems to be more "extreme". It gets colder in the winter and more hot/humid in the summer along with more severe storms.
