Summers here bring about 47 days at 90°F or hotter. That is enough to finish off a tired battery or a weak AC compressor, so get both checked in spring rather than on the first hot day.

It freezes on about 36 nights a year here. Not many, but the first cold snap is when a weak battery shows itself, so test it in the fall.

About 50 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.
