Cobourg's weather and homes

In Cobourg, July averages a high of 26.6 °C and January a low of −12.8 °C, about 10 days a year reach 30 °C, 169 nights fall at or below 0 °C, and 840 mm of precipitation falls in a typical year. That's drier than 62% of the 160 Canadian cities we have climate figures for.

58% of homes are detached houses; 52% were built in 1980 or earlier.

Peterborough, 40 km away, gets much the same rain and snow in a year.

Freeze and thaw

169 freezing nights a year put anything outside through freeze and thaw. Exterior shutters need materials and fixings made for that; interior shutters never see it.

Older facades

28% of homes are from 1960 or earlier. On an older facade, exterior shutters are often about the look of the street; check any heritage rules before changing them. Interior shutters change nothing outside.

Counting the openings in a Cobourg home

Exterior shutters are usually priced per opening. The middle Canadian home has 6 to 10 windows, before patio doors and basement windows.

52% of homes here were built in 1980 or earlier. Older facades often have trim and sills that decide what fits outside.
