SEYMOUR, IN

Overview:
Seymour is located approximately halfway between Indianapolis and Lousiville. The East Fork White River flows just to the northwest of the area, with a small lake located just west of the town boundaries. Otherwise, the land is mostly developed and flat.

Summertime temperatures can get quite hot at times, averaging the mid-70°Fs but exceeding 90°F just under two weeks per year. Wintertime temperatures are frequently cold, falling below freezing (32°F) over 100 days per year. Most of the region’s annual precipitation falls during the summer months, while winter precipitation aids in retaining soil moisture for the spring. Extreme precipitation events occur infrequently, just over 1 week per year.

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.
