Wet day: at least 0.01 inches (0.254 mm) of precipitation, including melted snow. This is not a rain-only count. Snowy day: at least 0.1 inches (2.54 mm) of new snowfall, not existing snow cover. Annual counts sum monthly average day counts; rare events may round to zero.
Highs and lows are averages of daily maximum and minimum temperatures, not record extremes. These are published 30-year climate normals, not a forecast. Recent years can be warmer or otherwise differ. Season labels summarise June–August highs and December–February lows.

About this local snapshot
These are named places in OpenStreetMap, not event listings or a popularity ranking. Examples prioritise named parks and gardens in the green-space category, then distance from Yale University. Mapping coverage varies: counts do not measure how lively a city is, and an omitted category does not mean there are no venues. Opening status has not been checked for every place; check access and hours before visiting. Snapshot: 2026-09-07.
