Census facts about Standard City

Standard City weather and a seasonal business

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Carlinville, 6.3 miles away, put the July average high at 86°F and the January average low at 19°F. About 40 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in April. About 27 days a year hit 90°F or more.
