Clinton
is a town in south-central Connecticut, overlooking the Long Island Sound. It's located in Middlesex County, about 38 miles south of the capital city of Hartford. The population is approximately 14,000 people, but during the summer months, that swells to about 20,000. The entire eastern half of the town center is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This area is known as the Clinton Village Historic District. The central part of the historic district, which contains the town green, is a separate historic district known as the Liberty Green Historic District. Other attractions in town include the Clinton Historical Society Museum, the Andrews Memorial Town Hall and the 1750 Elisha White House (known as Old Brick,) which is one of the oldest brick homes in the state. The town of Clinton is also known as the bluefish capital of the world. A Bluefish Festival is held annually at the town marina. For outdoor recreation, Clinton is home to Peters Memorial Woods, which contains several excellent hiking trails. The trails vary from easy to moderate to challenging. Some contain rock outcroppings, ravines, wildflowers, bridges and walkways over wetlands.

Clinton Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southeast Connecticut lies within the transition zone of humid subtropical and a humid continental. Although the seasonal extremes are slightly moderated by Long Island Sound, the primary weather pattern flow is offshore, from the colder landmasses to the north and west. A large number of air-mass fronts pass over this region during a year: cold, dry air pouring down from sub arctic North America, warm, moist air streaming up from the Gulf of Mexico, and cool, damp air moving in from the North Atlantic. Thunderstorms occur on an average of 20 to 30 days per year. Aside from infrequent tornadoes and hurricanes, coastal storms or "northeasters" are the most serious weather hazard in Connecticut. They generate very strong winds and heavy rain and produce the greatest snowstorms in the winter.
