Regional context
Middleport's climate, per the NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals from the nearest reporting station, runs cold-winter and warm-summer. January means hover near 25°F while July climbs to 72°F — a 46°F seasonal swing typical of northern-tier latitudes. Annual precipitation totals about 37.9 inches spread across roughly 127 days with measurable rain or snow.
Rainfall stays relatively even across the calendar: July tops out at 3.8 inches across 13.0 days with measurable rain, and February settles around 2.3 inches across 8.0 rainy days — a comparatively narrow seasonal range. That even-rainfall rhythm puts Middleport alongside places like Medina, NY, Gasport, NY and Lyndonville, NY — places without a single dominant storm season, where moisture arrives steadily across the calendar.
The frost-sensitive growing window opens around late-May, when overnight lows reliably clear freezing for cool-season crops like kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. Heat-loving transplants like tomatoes, peppers, and squash generally hold off for another 10-14 days to clear the last spring frost risk window. The window closes around early-October, when overnight lows resume dipping below freezing and frost-tender plants need protection or harvest. These are 30-year central tendencies; year-to-year frost dates can move by up to two weeks. Local features matter: a south-facing slope inside Middleport typically runs 3-5 days ahead of the regional last-frost date, while a low-lying lot along a creek or drainage can lag the same date by a week or more on calm clear nights.
