Climate:

Cincinnati enjoys four distinct seasons, with cold winters and warm summers. Winter temperatures average in the 30s and frequent snowfall is common. Summer highs in the 80s and 90s seem even warmer due to high humidity, but plenty of air-conditioned buildings offer a respite from the heat. Fall daytime temps are comfortably in the 60s and 70s, but the evenings cool into the 40s, so it’s a good idea to have a jacket handy.
