Examine twelve month atmospheric patterns based on representative 1991 to 2020 climatology data
Shawnee National Forest climate profiles provide a month by month breakdown of environmental averages including mean temperature, precipitation rates, humidity, wind speeds, and daylight duration. These records reflect long term climatological patterns calculated from a representative coordinate at 138.31 meters elevation. Data helps clarify annual cycles rather than providing current weather forecasts or real time environmental conditions for the broader forest area.
