The South Bend/Mishawaka area enjoys four distinct seasons. Summers are sunny and hot, and July is the warmest month of the year with an average temperature of 73.3 degrees.  Temperatures often reach into the mid to upper 80s during the summer, then fall as thunderstorms bring needed rain to the area.  The season of autumn bursts with color as tree-lined streets paint a picturesque scene.  Nights become cool and crisp -- perfect for fall sports such as football. 

Winter brings snow, but only sporadic substantial accumulations.  On average, St. Joseph County's annual total snowfall is 70.9 inches.  Much of this is lake effect snow.  If winter sports are your hobby, you can find ample locations to ski and snowmobile by taking a short drive north to our bordering neighbor, Michigan.   

Another burst of color awakens the countryside when spring arrives.  The birds return from their southern migration while spring flowers and tree leaves explode with shades of the season. It's truly exhilerating! 

Annual total precipitation is 36.52 inches.
