Regional context

In Roselle, NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals put January near 29°F and July near 75°F — a 46°F seasonal arc — with about 45.4 inches of precipitation over 180 rainy or snowy days.

Rainfall in Roselle stays even across the calendar: December tops out at 4.3 inches over 13.2 rainy days, and February still logs 3.0 inches across 12.9 — a narrow range for Roselle. It is a balanced pattern Roselle shares with places like Roselle Park, NJ, Linden, NJ and Kenilworth, NJ.

Once Roselle passes mid-April, overnight freezes fade and kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips can be sown. Roselle's heat-lovers — tomatoes, peppers, squash — hold off until Roselle's frost risk clears, 10-14 days on. By mid-November, frost is back in Roselle — protect or harvest anything tender. Roselle's low ground holds frost later into spring than Roselle's benches, which run 3-5 days ahead.
