Regional context
West Farmington's baseline climate, derived from NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals at the nearest reporting station, swings from a January mean of 24°F to a July mean of 70°F — a 46°F seasonal arc typical of the mid-latitude bands. Annual precipitation runs about 44.1 inches spread across roughly 94 days with measurable rain or snow each year.
Rainfall stays relatively even across the calendar: July tops out at 4.3 inches across 7.3 days with measurable rain, and February settles around 2.7 inches across 7.3 rainy days — a comparatively narrow seasonal range. The balanced distribution lines West Farmington up with places like Parkman, OH, Middlefield, OH and Champion Heights, OH, all of which run on overlapping storm tracks rather than a single seasonal moisture source.
The frost-sensitive growing window opens around mid-April, when overnight lows reliably clear freezing for cool-season crops like kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. Warm-soil crops — tomatoes, peppers, eggplant — wait until soil temperatures reach the mid-50s°F, usually two weeks past the last-frost date. The window closes around mid-November, when overnight lows resume dipping below freezing and frost-tender plants need protection or harvest. The dates above are 1991-2020 normals; in a given year either bookend can move 1-2 weeks either direction. Within West Farmington, low-lying parcels along drainage features typically lose 4-7°F of overnight low temperature versus the bench positions on calm clear nights, which shifts the working last-frost date by a week or more.
