Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Leesburg Muni Ap) averages 2.3 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Heat is the governing season: about 108 days a year reach 90°F and 0 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.

Rainfall is substantial: about 44 inches a year, 11 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Cooling dominates the year: about 3,482 cooling degree days against 629 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates.

The coast is about 46 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Leesburg sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Leesburg are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
