Warming context for Xenia

Methodology

The chart below traces how the U.S. land temperature anomaly has moved against the global mean since 1900. For Xenia, the NOAA 1991-2020 normal captures average conditions across that spread - notably, the most recent decade runs warmer than the 30-year mean itself.

What Xenia's climate means for you

Xenia runs 54°F a year - peaking in July, coldest in January.

  • Gardeners get about 189 frost-free days, with the last spring freeze near April 18 - plan the planting calendar around it, not the regional average.
  • Energy bills track 5,064 heating and 967 cooling degree days a year, higher means the furnace or AC runs more.
  • Comparing places to live? Line this city up against nearby cities and the national rankings. See rankings

Climate Insight: Xenia, OH

In Xenia, Ohio, the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals put the annual average temperature at 54°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 63°F to a mean daily low of 45°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. As thirty-year averages computed from station USC00339361, these numbers smooth out year-to-year noise into a working baseline for a typical month.

Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Xenia sees about 43.3 inches of precipitation a year, with 20.3 inches typically falling as snow. The frost-free season averages 189 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near April 18 and the first fall freeze near October 24. On the energy side, 5,064 heating degree days and 967 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Xenia scores 63/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for July-driven heat, or deep winter for January-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
