Mill Bay has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 63° in August; winter nights fall to about 26° in January. A normal year brings about 70 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 78 inches of water.
On November 14 Mill Bay normally reaches 41° and falls to 30°. The record high is 59°, in 2013; the record low 9°, in 1977. The most rain on this date, 1.75 in, fell in 1976.
