Ozarks Data
Four Seasons of the Ozarks
A normal year in the Ozarks is not one temperature line for one city. This view uses NOAA's 1991–2020 gridded climate normals across the Boston Mountains and Ozark Highlands to show the regional pattern.
The main climate view is built from roughly 4.6–5 km NOAA grid cells clipped to the Ozarks ecological region and weighted by the amount of each cell inside the boundary.
Local station values are included only as reference points.
Climate normals describe a long-run baseline. They are not a forecast for any particular day or year.
