Metz weather and a seasonal business
The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Nevada Wtp, is 12 miles from Metz. It records an average high of 89°F in July and an average low of 22°F in January. About 46 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 42 days a year. Mild weather stretches the outdoor season: patios, yards and outdoor events stay busy for months. Update the homepage before your busy season: a short email with the new text is all it takes.
