Dayton experiences a humid continental climate. Summer (June to September) is the best time to visit this beautiful city. The warm weather is perfect for sightseeing and popular festivals such as the Vectren Dayton Air Show, which takes place in July. However, these months, and the months of December and January, are the peak tourist seasons in the city. Air fares, accommodation rates, and general expenses will be at their highest.
