Climate

Delhi Township, Ohio is located within a climatic transition zone at the extreme northern limit of the humid subtropical climate. The local climate is a basically a blend of the subtropics to the south and the humid continental climate to the north. There are several "micro-climates" found in Delhi Township which produce warmer than usual or cooler than usual "pockets". In the warmer niches it is not at all uncommon to find such "subtropical" novelties as the common Wall lizard, the Southern magnolia, and even the rare Needle palm; the Blue spruce and Salamander tend to occur in the cooler and more shaded niches- for example, all of these examples of fauna and flora can be found on the campus of the College of Mount Saint Joseph- even an example of cold Hardy palms can be found there. Major moderating variables for the overall climate of the Township include: proximity to the Ohio River, the region's relatively large hills and valleys, and an urban heat influence due to the proximity of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (Covington, Newport, etc) metropolitan area. Humid subtropical climates are characterized by hot, humid summers and cool to mild winters. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...
