Climate Chart of Lansing, USA

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

For Lansing, USA, the climate data describe 2013–2023. Monthly mean temperatures range from January at -4.2 °C to July at 22.5 °C, giving a broad sense of the contrast across the year without describing daytime highs. Rainfall, sunshine and snowfall add distinct considerations for planning: their monthly daily means vary, and each average is a guide to typical conditions rather than a promise about any particular day.

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean is -4.2 °C in January, while the warmest is 22.5 °C in July. These figures describe monthly means, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they should not be read as the temperature a visitor will experience at a particular hour. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 9.5 °C. It provides a broad summary of the period, but does not represent a day-weighted annual average or remove the pronounced difference between the coolest and warmest monthly means.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in October, at 3.21 mm/day, and lowest in January, at 1.10 mm/day. These are daily means within the respective months, not monthly rainfall totals; the lower average does not guarantee rain-free days or indicate how frequently rain occurs. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-rainfall means is 2.20 mm/day. It offers a general reference for the period, rather than a forecast for a given day or a measure of the chance of rain.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in February, at 8.58 mm/day; the unweighted mean across the monthly daily-snowfall means is 2.44 mm/day. These averages describe snowfall amounts, not the number of snowy days, snow depth, lasting snow cover or whether conditions support skiing.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest monthly value in July, at 11.61 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 3.63 hours/day. These durations can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, but sunshine hours are not the same as day length and do not guarantee clear conditions. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine means is 7.78 hours/day per day. Treat it as a period-wide summary; actual sunshine on a particular visit may differ.

Best Travel Time Guide for Lansing, USA: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

If cooler monthly mean conditions are your priority, January is the relevant reference, with a mean of -4.2 °C; for the warmest monthly mean, July records 22.5 °C. These averages can guide broad timing choices, but neither specifies daytime highs or the conditions on your travel dates. For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, January is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 1.10 mm/day. In October, the mean daily amount is 3.21 mm/day, so rain preparation is sensible; neither figure guarantees dry or wet days, or tells you how often rain falls.

For outdoor sightseeing planned around average sunshine, July has the highest mean daily duration at 11.61 hours/day, while December has the lowest at 3.63 hours/day. Sunshine duration is not day length and cannot ensure clear skies, so keep plans flexible. The highest monthly mean daily snowfall occurs in February, at 8.58 mm/day. This amount alone cannot establish snow cover, snow depth or the number of snowy days, so it is not enough to judge winter travel or skiing conditions.
