Regional context

Drawing on NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals, Ogilvie's January averages 11°F and July 69°F — 59°F apart — while precipitation totals roughly 31.7 inches over some 62 days.

Summer convection drives Ogilvie's precipitation: July logs 4.7 inches on 7.5 rainy days, against January's 0.7 inches on 2.3 — warm-season storms carry Ogilvie's moisture. That summer-storm rhythm groups Ogilvie with places like Bock, MN, Mora, MN and Milaca, MN.

Ogilvie's growing window opens around late-May, once Ogilvie's overnight lows stop freezing — sow kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. In Ogilvie, warm-season transplants — tomatoes, peppers, basil — wait two weeks past Ogilvie's frost date. It shuts near early-October, when freezes return to Ogilvie and tender plants need cover. Within Ogilvie, cold-air pooling chills low spots by 5-10°F, shifting Ogilvie's local frost dates.

Similar climates: Bock, MN, Mora, MN, Milaca, MN, Grasston, MN, Quamba, MN.
