The Rugby climate, from a business owner’s view

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Rugby weather station (0.8 miles from Rugby), July highs average 80°F and January lows average -4°F. About 21 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 194 times a year.
