Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Linton sees about an uncharted amount of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 140 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 12 and the first fall freeze near September 29. On the energy side, 8,602 heating degree days and 609 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Linton scores 39/100 (Below Average), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings January-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
