Cleveland has a traditional Midwest climate with cool and crisp Falls, frigid and snowy Winters, short Springs and hot, humid summers. On average, Summer temperatures range from 70°F - 90°F with the warmest temperatures occurring in the month of July. Cleveland's all-time record high was set on June 25, 1988 when temperatures soared to a boiling 104°F.

Located on the shorelines of Lake Erie, Cleveland experiences the Lake Snow effect from mid-November through early February, which causes snowfall totals to range across the city. The airport tends to receive very limited amounts of snow while areas within the "snow belt" (Eastern Cleveland through Eastern Suburbs and up the Shoreline of Lake Erie) may receive as much as 100 inches in a given season. While cold Winter weather is the typical, Clevelanders also often enjoy a Winter mild spell where temperatures may rise into the 70s for several days. Cleveland receives approximately 38.7 inches of rain received every year.
