Watch the measured night floor
Outdoor lows can increase heating demand in some homes, but insulation and indoor climate control can change the result. Record overnight room, warm-side, and cool-side values before adding heat.

Seasonal narrative
What may change at home
The coldest average daily minimum occurs in March (-16.0°F); the warmest average daily maximum occurs in July (81.0°F).
Protect the cool side
During July, check that the enclosure still provides the species-specific cool zone. Adjust the room or ventilation only from measured values.
Let the hygrometer decide
May has the lowest contextual outdoor humidity in this record. Indoor ventilation, substrate, heating, and household HVAC can produce a very different reading.
Equipment decision workflow
Choose control from evidence, not a wattage shortcut.
- 01
Record the room
Measure daytime and overnight room temperature through the season you are planning for.
- 02
Describe the enclosure
Note internal dimensions, material, ventilation area, target night floor, and heat-source distance.
- 03
Match the controller
Select a thermostat type compatible with the heat source; follow the manufacturer’s placement and load requirements.
- 04
Commission and verify
Test an empty setup, then confirm warm-side, basking-surface, cool-side, and night readings with suitable instruments.

This imported city record is suitable for broad seasonal context only. Its original extraction window and field-level provenance are incomplete; verify room and enclosure conditions with calibrated instruments. Card high/low values are treated as climatological period extrema until a verified pipeline replaces them.
