Oppressive humidity and high temperatures arrive in summer. Autumn is often the most pleasant time of the year with lower humidity than the other seasons, and mostly sunny skies. March is usually the wettest month of the year and September is the driest. Snowfall is much less along the Ohio River than in the northern part of Indiana, near Lake Michigan.
