'''Foxborough''' is a town in [[Norfolk County,
"Foxborough" is the official spelling of the town name,<ref>{{cite web|title=The Official Site of Foxborough, MA|url=http://www.foxboroughma.gov/|website=FoxboroughMA.gov|access-date=July 11, 2020}}</ref> although the alternative spelling "'''Foxboro'''" is also frequently used. This alternative spelling is used by the United States Postal Service as the correct form by which to address mail to recipients in the town, although both can be processed by their system.<ref>{{cite web|title=FOXBORO — Post Office|url=https://tools.usps.com/find-location.htm?location=1363949|website=USPS.com|access-date=July 11, 2020}}</ref> The sign on the post office reads "Foxboro".{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}

Foxborough's climate is [[humid continental]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: Dfa) with four distinct seasons, which is the predominant climate for [[Massachusetts]] and [[New England]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Peel |first1=M. C. |last2=Finlayson |first2=B. L. |last3=McMahon |first3=T. A. |title=Updated world map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification |journal=Hydrology and Earth System Sciences |date=2007 |volume=11 |issue=5 |pages=1633–1644 |doi=10.5194/hess-11-1633-2007|bibcode=2007HESS...11.1633P |url=http://rcin.org.pl/Content/58779 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Summers are typically warm to hot, rainy, and humid, while winters are cold, windy, and snowy. Spring and fall are usually mild, but conditions are widely varied, depending on wind direction and jet stream positioning. The warmest month is July, with an average high temperature of 83 °F and an average low temperature of 62 °F. The coldest month is January, with an average high temperature of 36 °F and an average low temperature of 18 °F. Periods exceeding 90 °F in summer and below 10 °F in winter are not uncommon but rarely extended, with about 14 days per year seeing the former extreme. Because of the town's relatively short distance from the [[Atlantic Ocean]], temperatures tend to remain warmer than locations further inland. Like the rest of the northeastern seaboard, precipitation is distributed fairly evenly throughout the entire year, with the winter months receiving slightly more precipitation than the summer months. Powerful storm systems known as [[Nor'easter]]s can produce heavy amounts of rain and snow at any time of the year, but these storms most often strike during the winter months, causing significant snowfall amounts and [[blizzard]] conditions. [[Thunderstorms]] occur somewhat frequently in the summer, occasionally bringing heavy downpours, damaging winds, and [[hail]]. [[Tornado]] activity is relatively low in the area, although there have been a fair share of [[tornado warnings]] issued over the years. Due to its location along the United States eastern seaboard, Foxborough is somewhat vulnerable to Atlantic [[hurricanes]] and [[tropical storms]] that threaten the region from late summer into early autumn.
