Weather and Building Across the State

Heat

Martinsburg, Charles Town and Ranson corporation share the most hot days of all 31 West Virginia places listed here: about 26 days a year at or above 90°F (NOAA normals, Martinsburg E Wv Regional Airport, WV station). None of the 31 listed places reach 90°F on 60 or more days a year. For most of the state, heat is a summer-month issue rather than a constant one.

Freezing Nights and Snow

Elkins has the most freezing nights of all 31 West Virginia places listed here: about 136 nights a year at or below 32°F (NOAA normals, Elkins Randolph Co. Airport, WV station). 1 of 31 listed places average 120 or more freezing nights, when water-carrying units need winterizing or heat for months at a time. Elkins has the most snowfall of the 4 listed West Virginia places with this figure: about 69 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals, Elkins Randolph Co. Airport, WV station). 3 of 4 places with snowfall normals average 20 inches or more, enough to plan for a plowed path to the units.

Rain

Elkins has the most precipitation of all 31 West Virginia places listed here: about 47 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA normals, Elkins Randolph Co. Airport, WV station). 10 of 31 listed places get 46 inches or more, or 12 or more days with an inch, so firm ground for units and ADA routes matters.

New and Older Housing

Charles Town has the highest share of recent housing of the 27 listed West Virginia places with this figure: 25.0% of housing units built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024). 5 of 27 listed places are above the U.S. share of 11.4%. That describes the housing stock, not current permits, but it shows where new-home construction has been concentrated; OSHA's toilet table applies to every one of those job sites. Moundsville has the oldest housing of all 31 West Virginia places listed here: a median year built of 1947 (ACS 2020–2024). 21 of 31 listed places have a median year built of 1970 or earlier, where renovation crews in existing buildings are the usual job site.

Climate Regions

Listed places by DOE Building America climate region (county-level, PNNL guide to IECC 2021 zones): Mixed-Humid (20), Cold (11). A state spanning several regions means the right advice depends on the city, which is why each city page has its own figures.

Who Handles Event and Street-Use Rules

Of the 31 West Virginia places listed here, 26 are incorporated cities, towns, villages or boroughs and 5 are Census-designated places, unincorporated communities without a municipal government. The rule of thumb for an event on public land or a unit on a street or sidewalk: in an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough government; in an unincorporated community, ask the county. We do not say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.
