Regional context

Eastwood swings from 25°F in January to 73°F in July (48°F) per NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals; precipitation in Eastwood runs about 33.2 inches on roughly 69 measurable days.

Summer convection drives Eastwood's precipitation: October logs 3.7 inches on 7.1 rainy days, against February's 1.3 inches on 3.6 — warm-season storms carry Eastwood's moisture. That summer-storm rhythm groups Eastwood with places like Comstock Northwest, MI, Parchment, MI and Kalamazoo, MI.

Eastwood reaches its last hard frost near late-May; that is the cue for kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. Eastwood's heat-lovers — tomatoes, peppers, squash — hold off until Eastwood's frost risk clears, 10-14 days on. Frost returns to Eastwood near early-October, ending the tender-crop season. Eastwood's low ground holds frost later into spring than Eastwood's benches, which run 3-5 days ahead.

Similar climates: Comstock Northwest, MI, Parchment, MI, Kalamazoo, MI, Westwood, MI, Galesburg, MI.
