Your climate reference
near Southold.

We connect a real Census place to the nearest agricultural NOAA station, then show the distance and the limitations. This is not a locally validated planting calendar.

CDP · Census 2026
Nearby stations have different climate statuses.

A seasonal station and a mild-climate or limited-data station are not interchangeable. The nearest source has not been replaced to force a calendar.

A reference, not your back garden

6.8 miles SW
from the Census reference point.

The line connects Southold’s published Census internal point to the weather station. It does not measure terrain, elevation differences or your garden’s microclimate.

Full station data
Proximity is not a climate-validation score. Place elevation is unavailable in this Census source, so we cannot verify the elevation difference. The nearest station is never silently replaced by a colder one to create a planting calendar.

A conventional seasonal freeze calculation is not supported by this reference.

Limited-quality reference. This may reflect a mild or high-elevation climate, infrequent freezing, or limited-quality values. We preserve the source status rather than inventing dates.

Available alternative-station median spread: spring not comparable; fall not comparable. This is a comparison of source references, not a measure of garden uncertainty.

Date probabilities apply among cold seasons with a 32°F freeze, not all years. Check each station’s annual occurrence and quality before comparing.
