Jackson County, Illinois temperate continental climate climatology |
| Abstract: | Carbondale (Jackson County) has a temperate continental climate, dominated by maritime tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico from about April through November. Gulf air generally supports relative humidities of about 60% during the day and 85% at night. This is the airmass which yields a warm to hot, "muggy" environment, particularly from May through October. There are occasional, brief interruptions of drier, cooler air from the Pacific Ocean, but they typically only last a few days. The climate of southern Illinois is decidedly less wintery than that of northern Illinois, in both intensity and duration. |
