Regional context

In Delphi, NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals put January near 26°F and July near 74°F — a 48°F seasonal arc — with about 37 inches of precipitation over 72 rainy or snowy days.

Precipitation in Delphi runs summer-dominant: June averages 4.6 inches across 7.8 days of warm-season storms, while February drops to 1.8 inches over 4.3 rainy days of drier cool air. That puts Delphi in a summer-convective cohort with places like Pittsburg, IN, Colburn, IN and Americus, IN.

Around mid-April, Delphi sheds its freezing nights — kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips go into Delphi's beds. Tomatoes and peppers do best set out two weeks later in Delphi, once nights clear the mid-40s°F. The season ends by mid-November in Delphi, once hard frosts set back in. Delphi's low ground holds frost later into spring than Delphi's benches, which run 3-5 days ahead.

Similar climates: Pittsburg, IN, Colburn, IN, Americus, IN, Rockfield, IN, Yeoman, IN.
