Easton climate
Humid summers, heavy rain, coastal storms, freezes, and occasional snow call for a full-year plan
NOAA's Baltimore Washington International Airport normals for 1991 to 2020 show a 56.2-degree Fahrenheit annual mean, 33.8 days at or above 90 degrees, 1.3 days at or above 100 degrees, 93.3 freezing-minimum days, and 10.7 days when the maximum stayed at or below 32 degrees. January averages 43.2 degrees high and 25.4 low, while July averages 88.8 high and 67.7 low at the nearby regional station.
Inspect air conditioning, dehumidification, insulation, windows, roof, gutters, drainage, trees, flood coverage, backup power, winter heating, mold prevention, and the route to care through a heavy rain, coastal storm, heat warning, freeze, or snow. Easton may differ from the airport station, so visit the actual neighborhood in more than one season.
