Nestled in the heart of the Midwest, Columbus experiences a humid continental climate, thanks to its location away from moderating bodies of water and its latitude. This geographical setting contributes to its cold, dry winters from December to February and its hot, humid summers from June to August. Spring and autumn, meanwhile, are much milder and are the most pleasant periods of the year.
Summer temperatures tend to hover around the 86°F (30°C) mark. Winter is chilly, with daytime temperatures rarely rising above 41°F (5°C), while nights are typically below freezing.
Weather hazards to look out for include lightning and large hailstones. Like much of the Midwest, Columbus is also vulnerable to tornadoes. To stay safe, it’s important to keep up to date with the latest weather news and follow any warnings or alerts issued.
