The climate of Richmond (Virginia - United States of America)
Richmond is the capital of Virginia and is centrally located in the state. Many companies have their headquarters here and the economy flourishes here. During the Civil War Richmond was the capital of the Southern States. Because of this many monuments and museums are situated here. Among them are the Jefferson Davis Monument, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of the Confederacy. Since 2003 the headquarters of the largest cigarette producer in the world has been based here: Philip Morris. The popular brand Marlboro is produced by this company. Philip Morris has a large factory here for the local market and export to other countries.

Richmond has a warm maritime climate (type Cfa according to the Köppen climate classification) with fairly mild winters and warm summers. Precipitation is quite evenly spread out over the year. Richmond gets more than 2,800 hours of annual sunshine which is fairly sunny. The city gets 100-130 days of precipitation resulting in 1,115 millimeters of annual precipitation. During the winter precipitation may fall in the form of snow.

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:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
