Climate

Miamisburg and its surrounding region’s climate are dominated by a humid continental climate, characterized by hot, muggy summers and cold, dry winters. Miamisburg is prone to severe weather because of its location in the Midwestern section of the United States. Tornadoes are possible from spring to fall. Floods, blizzards, and severe thunderstorms can also occur.

Miamisburg has suffered some natural disasters. In 1869, a tornado struck the northwest part of town on June, 9th, allegedly destroying roofs and chimneys, and uprooting trees. It also destroyed Linden Avenue Bridge. Blizzards struck the town in 1978, 2004, and 2008.

In 1913 the Great Dayton Flood destroyed most of the city. The slightest precipitation has a direct positive correlation to the flooding of locations such as Rice Field, which is on the banks of the Great Miami River.
