Regional context

In Dansville, NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals put January near 26°F and July near 72°F — a 45°F seasonal arc — with about 29 inches of precipitation over 70 rainy or snowy days.

Summer convection drives Dansville's precipitation: July logs 3.5 inches on 7.2 rainy days, against February's 1.1 inches on 3.9 — warm-season storms carry Dansville's moisture. That summer-storm rhythm groups Dansville with places like Cumminsville, NY, Woodsville, NY and Byersville, NY.

Around late-May, Dansville sheds its freezing nights — kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips go into Dansville's beds. Dansville's heat-lovers — tomatoes, peppers, squash — hold off until Dansville's frost risk clears, 10-14 days on. Frost returns to Dansville near early-October, ending the tender-crop season. Dansville's low ground holds frost later into spring than Dansville's benches, which run 3-5 days ahead.
