Many would say that Ohio weather is unpredictable: "If you are not happy with current conditions, wait 30 minutes and it will change!" However, that is something shared humorously among Ohioans, most often during transitional months of Spring and Autumn.
Ohio is a state with four seasons. Our Fall foliage brings lots of color to our trees -- many come from miles around for the "Change of Color." Winter brings us snow, freezing rain, and temperatures ranging from below 0 Farenheit up to the low 40s. Spring is beautiful! Flowers and trees begin to bloom and our environment becomes very green and pretty resulting from early Spring rains...
Wilmington is located in Southern Ohio, and part of the Miami Valley. Summers here are quite sunny and often humid. Temperatures might be as low as 50 degrees Farenheit in the evenings and during the days we sometimes reach 100F and possibly a bit higher. Though, the average summer temperatures during the time participants would stay in Wilmington will be between 60F and 88F. On the Wilmington College campus there are lots of shade trees around the residence halls and there is a comfortable, cool breeze in the evenings. The same is true at JOY Education Center.
Items to consider bringing that relate with our weather:
* Light water resistant jacket with hood and pockets.
* Heavy, insulated jacket (recommended - water resistant) for winter participants.
* Small umbrella.
* Sunscreen.
* Sunglasses.
* Light (canvas) sunhat - for summer participants with sensitive skin.
* Bug repellant (to fend off the occasional summer evening mosquito).
* Body Anti-persperant or deodorant.
* Summer sandals (comfortable for walking).
* Boots, hat, and mittens (for winter participants).
* Shoes appropriate for wearing in rainy weather.
