Jasper, Indiana climate

Winter cold and summer humidity both belong in the Jasper home decision

National Weather Service Evansville normals for 1991 through 2020 provide a nearby Southern Indiana reference: January averages 41.7 degrees Fahrenheit for the high and 25.5 degrees for the low, while July averages 88.6 degrees for the high and 68.8 degrees for the low. The station records 47.91 inches of annual precipitation and 10.8 inches of annual snowfall. Jasper may differ from the station, so use these values as regional guidance rather than a property forecast.

Published climate measures place Jasper in a warm band and list humidity at 93 percent. That combination asks more of heating, air conditioning, insulation, windows, roof, gutters, drainage, snow removal, power, and indoor comfort than a short summer visit reveals. Pair the Riverwalk, parks, arts, and errands with indoor choices for heat, rain, ice, storms, and low energy days.

Jasper in everyday life

Could Jasper work for you?

What may work well

  • The nearby NWS normals make the winter and summer contrast clear without promising conditions at a particular home.
  • Jasper's parks, cultural spaces, older adult programs, and indoor home choices can give the year more than one way to spend the day.

What to think about

  • Heat, humidity, heavy rain, cooling, drainage, power, and storm preparation can affect outdoor access.
  • Winter cold, snow, ice, heating, steps, and road conditions can affect errands and care.
  • Regional station normals describe a nearby record, not the conditions inside a particular home.
