About 38 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 36 days a year.

Rules that apply to a Barry business website

A few rules apply to any Barry business that sells or advertises online:

• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Illinois calls that an assumed business name, and it has to be registered first. Assumed Business Name Act, 805 ILCS 405
• Illinois taxes general merchandise at a 6.25% state Retailers’ Occupation Tax rate, with a preferential 1% rate on qualifying drugs and medical appliances; municipalities and counties add local rates. Illinois Department of Revenue
• Illinois has no statewide general business license; cities and counties impose their own taxes and may require zoning permits, so the city or county clerk is the place to check. In Barry, that means asking Pike County and the City of Barry. Official source
