Hot months, wet months: New Haven through the year
Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Bardstown, 16 miles away, put the July average high at 87°F and the January average low at 26°F. Rain adds up to about 52 inches a year, falling on about 88 days with a tenth of an inch or more. About 24 days a year hit 90°F or more.
