What Columbus's weather means for companies
January averages a high of 37°F in Columbus, cold enough for real outerwear but mild enough that a fleece quarter-zip or soft shell handles most office days, with insulated jackets kept for field crews. Summer heat is real too, about 21 days a year at 90°F or more, so outdoor events from May to September need lightweight tees and caps, and field crews need a breathable polo. About 42 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a year, so field teams need a hooded rain jacket roomy enough to wear over fleece in winter and on its own in spring. Snow totals around 28 inches a year, so office staff can get by with a lined soft shell, while field crews need a proper insulated, waterproof jacket. Temperatures drop to 32°F or below on about 103 nights a year, so an onboarding kit for a winter hire works better with a warm layer, such as a fleece quarter-zip, than with a tee alone.
