Overview:
Greenville is located in Montcalm County in the central lower peninsula. The Flat River runs through the town, and there are three navigable lakes within its limits, Baldwin, Manoka, and Como. There are also multiple unnamed ponds, a peat bog, and seasonal wetlands. Agriculture is an important industry in the area and the climate is conducive to growing many different crops including corn and wheat.

The climate in Greenville is characterized by large seasonal differences in temperature. The temperature rarely exceeds 90°F, but temperatures often drop below freezing during the winter months. Precipitation is spread out over the year, with the greatest amounts coming during the spring season.

Annual High and Low Temperature Departure

Cold Temperatures

¹Heating Degree Days (HDDs) are indexed units, not actual days, that roughly describe the demand to heat a building. HDDs accumulate on days colder than 65°F when heating is required. Every degree below 65°F is added to the annual total for an annual HDD value, which is plotted in the figure.

Hot Temperatures

²Cooling Degree Days (CDDs) are indexed units, not actual days, that roughly describe the demand to cool a building. CDDs accumulate on days warmer than 65°F when cooling is required. Every degree above 65°F is added to the annual total for an annual CDD value, which is plotted in the figure.
