Jackson is located in the central region of the southern lower peninsula, approximately 65 miles from Lake Erie. The terrain is generally flat, with the forested areas along with agricultural land.

During the summer, temperatures rarely rise above 90°F, but during the winter it is common to have days below 32°F. Precipitation is generally evenly distributed throughout the year, with spring and summer months being slightly wetter than winter and fall months. Winter precipitation often comes in the form of snow.

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.
