CLIMATE

The Greater Springfield climate is pleasant with distinct seasonal changes, but without extended periods of extreme cold or heat. Sangamon County’s location, midway between the Continental Divide and the Atlantic Ocean, offers a typical continental climate (i.e., cold, rather dry winters; warm, humid summers; and frequent, short duration but relatively large magnitude changes in temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind direction.)
