Seymour at a glance
Heating and cooling climate
NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the SEYMOUR 2 N, IN station show about 5,282 heating degree days and 980 cooling degree days in a typical year, with about 117 nights at or below freezing and 20 days reaching 90°F or more. Heating demand is far larger than cooling demand here, so the furnace, boiler or heat pump carries most of the load and a breakdown in a cold snap is the most pressing kind of call.
