Similar to hardiness zones, but for heat. Based on the number of days over 86 (30 C). Here’s a map for the United States with the key on the bottom right: Map
For 1981-2010, Rochester averaged 20.5 days over 30 C, placing it in heat zone 4.For 2000-2017, that number has increased to 23.2, but it is still firmly within zone 4. |

Looks like here is borderline zone 10/11, I'm not sure of the exact number of days above 86 F (30 C) that we average, but I would assume it's probably about 170 or so? Where did you look up the average number of days above 30 C for Rochester? Looks like parts of SW FL are zone 12  |

Miami averages 176 days above 86 F (30 C), Ft. Lauderdale averages 162, WPB averages 164 days. So zone 10 for down here. Zone 11 possibly in more inland areas. |

zone 2.
+30C occurs 1.3/days per year on average (1983-2017). 60% of the years reached 30C.

Definitely 2. It occurs about 1.25 times per year on average, although many years go without, as you may well have guessed  |

KC is in zone 7.
Other places I've lived
Topeka, KS - also 7
Northwest corner of Mississippi - borderline 7/8
Northeastern Ohio between Cleveland and Akron - 4
SW Louisiana (born there, but no memory of it) - 8-9, probably 9. I think I'm glad I have no memory of that.
