The climate of Essex (Vermont
- United States of America)
Essex is located in the western part of the state of Vermont and has
the largest surface area of all cities in Vermont. Essex is often
mentioned in the same breath as the village of Essex Junction which is
located directly next to Essex. Just outside the city Indian Brook
Park is situated. Here you can go on a guided tour and see the
beautiful surroundings of the city. You can also go golfing on the
local golf course. Essex has a wet continental climate with cold
winters and pleasant summers in which precipitation figures are fairly
high. Essex has four distinct seasons. During the winter most
precipitation falls in the form of snow. However, the amount of snow
that falls varies per year. Lake Champlain, which is located west from
the city slightly influences the climate of Essex.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
