Question

When does it start getting cold in Washington DC? what is the overall climate like?

Answer 1

Washington, DC and the surrounding areas experience four distinct seasons.

Fall is usually pleasant, with the weather beginning to cool off by mid-September and not turning really cold until mid-November.  Expect temperatures in the high 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Winter is cold, although only bitter for a small number of days.  Snow can happen anytime from November through March, but is most common in January and Feburary.  It snows about six days a year.  One heavy snowstorm each year is about average.  Ice storms can happen, too.  Expect temperatures in the 30s, 40s and low 50s, with wind chills a problem.

Spring is delightful, with pleasant temperatures and occasional rain showers.  Expect temperatures in the 60s and 70s.

Summer is hot, hazy, and humid, lasting from late May until mid-September.  Late afternoon thunderstorms are common.  Expect temperatures in the 80s and 90s.

The weather patterns seem to be changing, possibly due to the climate change that the scientists talk about.  There's less and less snow each winter.
