Toledo, located in the Great Lakes region, is exposed to changing weather patterns due to its proximity to Lake Erie. It experiences a moderate climate compared to its surrounding areas. The lake tends to moderate temperatures, leading to cooler summers and milder winters compared to locations further inland. However, this proximity also brings lake-effect snow during winter, resulting in increased snowfall amounts and potential impact on daily life. Additionally, the lake affects the area's humidity levels, leading to an increased chance of thunderstorms during the warm season.
