Richmond's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Richmond's warmest month is July, at an average high of 89.5°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 28.8°F.
Highs stay at 80°F or more from June to September: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Newport News, 61 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (43).

Living rooms on winter evenings
74 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 45 days a year at 90°F or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
In a place with 47.2 inches of precipitation a year, damp rooms stay damp longer. Wood shutters suit a bathroom with a fan, kept out of shower spray; run the fan so steam doesn't sit behind closed louvers.
Room by room in Richmond
The median home in Richmond has 4.9 rooms, and the most common has 2 bedrooms. Most owners start with the bedrooms, then the rooms that face the street. In Newport News, 61 miles away, the figure is 5.4 rooms.
20% of workers here worked from home in the 2020–2024 survey years, more than in 73% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. A home office is often the next room shuttered. In Newport News, 61 miles away, 10% worked from home, fewer than here.
