===Climate===
Westhampton has an [[oceanic climate]] (''Cfb'') under the [[Köppen climate classification]], with moderately cold winters and warm summers. The plant hardiness is more similar to a [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfb'') although winter days are mild enough that Westhampton is unlikely to maintain long-term snow cover in a normal winter. Due to the lack of an urban environment and being away from the immediate coastline, the area has much colder nights than [[New York City]]. Westhampton sees an average of 43.4 inches of precipitation per year.
