In climatology, the term mesothermal is used to refer to certain forms of climate found in the Earth's temperate zones. It has a moderate amount of heat, with winters not cold enough to sustain snow cover. Summers are warm within oceanic climate regimes, hot within continental climate regimes; the term is derived from two Greek words meaning "having a moderate amount of heat." This can be misinterpreted, since the term is intended to describe only the temperature conditions that prevail during the winter months, rather than those for the year as a whole. Under the broadest definition, all places with an average temperature in their coldest month, colder than 18 °C, but warmer than −3 °C, are said to have a mesothermal climate. In some climate classification schemes, this is divided into two segments, with a coldest-month average of 6 °C being the line of demarcation between them. Observing the narrower definition articulated above, the mesothermal locations are those where the winters are too cold to allow year-round photosynthesis, but not cold enough to support a fixed period of continuous snow cover every year.

In the US, the northern boundary line between mesothermal and microthermal ranges is north of Juneau and Sitka at the Pacific Ocean. It goes south to about 38N latitude in the Rockies eastward across the lower Midwest to the East Coast near Boston; the southern boundary line between mesothermal and megathermal is across south Florida just above Palm Beach. Summers in these places may be hot or warm; the hot-summer, or continental, mesothermal climate is encountered in the Northern Hemisphere, in the landmass interiors of Asia and North America and along their east coasts, while the most seen example of a warm to cool-summer mesothermal climate is the oceanic climates found along the west coasts of all of the world's continents equidistant between the geographical tropical and polar zones. List of mesothermal cities and their summer temperatures: Hong Kong-hot summer Milan-hot summer New York City-hot summer Tokyo-hot summer London-warm summer Mexico City-warm summer Vancouver-warm summer In addition to being subdivisible by summer temperature, mesothermal climates can be subclassified on the basis of precipitation — into humid and arid subtypes within your front door within depth Megathermal Microthermal Applied Climatology, John Griffiths

Waverly is a village in, the county seat of, Pike County, United States, located 14 miles south of Chillicothe. The population was 4,408 at the 2010 census; the town was formed in 1829, as the construction of the Ohio and Erie Canal along the west bank of the Scioto River brought new growth to the area. In 1861 the county seat was moved here from Piketon. Waverly is served by the Garnet A. Wilson Public Library. Historians believe that Waverly and the surrounding areas were inhabited by nomadic people as early as 13,000 BC; the first historical evidence that can be tied to a particular culture dates back to sometime between the years 1000 and 800 BC, to the culture known as the "Adena". The area around Waverly is rich in Adena heritage, including a number of mounds throughout the area; the Adena were given their cognomen from Thomas Worthington's Adena Estate near Chillicothe, where evidence of their culture was found in the early 1900s. There is evidence pointing to the emergence of the "Hopewell" culture in the Waverly area beginning about 300 BC.

The namesake for the Hopewell is Captain M. C. Hopewell, the owner of the Ross County farmstead where artifacts leading to the discovery of the Hopewell's separate cultural identity were found. Both the Adena and the Hopewell are well known for their mounds, many of which still exist around southern Ohio, including several in Pike County, just north of Waverly in Chillicothe, where the Adena Mound is a registered historic structure. There is evidence of Hopewell in the area until about 600 AD; the cause of the demise of the Hopewell is unknown, there is not much information available about the people following them. Sometime after 1000 AD, the "Fort Ancient" people began to occupy southern Ohio, only to disappear in the 17th century decimated by infectious diseases spread in epidemics from early European contact; some scholars believe that the Fort Ancient people "were ancestors of the historic Shawnee people, or that, at the least, the historic Shawnees absorbed remnants of these older peoples."There is a historical gap between evidence of the end of the Fort Ancient presence in the Waverly area and the beginning of the presence of the Shawnee Native American tribe.

It is not known whether the Shawnee were descendants of the Fort Ancient, but there are a number of similarities between the two cultures that have led some to speculate that this is the case. As European settlements began to push into Ohio country, the Shawnee were driven further and further west, there is an extensive record of the Shawnee's clashes with settlers, including Tecumseh's War and various battles of the War of 1812. One of the most well-known leaders of the Shawnee tribe, was born somewhere close to Waverly just north of the village's site, in 1768; as early as the age of 15, after the American Revolutionary War ended in 1783, Tecumseh was fighting alongside other Shawnee to stop the white invasion of their lands by attacking settlers' flatboats traveling down the Ohio River from Pennsylvania. In time, Tecumseh came to lead his own band of warriors and his bravery and leadership have caused him to become an American folk hero and his legend still lives large in Waverly and the surrounding areas.

Although Europeans had been in the area hunting and surveying for some time prior, not until 1796 did the first Europeans began to settle in the area around Waverly, in what is now Pike County, Ohio. Pike County was named for General Zebulon Montgomery Pike, killed at the storming of York in Upper Canada in the war of 1812–15, he died during the war, on April 25, 1813, aged 35, is considered a war hero, many landmarks and geographic areas being named after him. Waverly was platted in about 1829 by a M. Downing, it had 306 inhabitants by 1840, it was known as Uniontown. He is believed to have done this; the Ohio and Erie Canal, completed to Waverly in the early 1830s, transformed the landscape of southern Ohio in many ways, played a major part in the development of Waverly and its surrounding areas. The initial plan for the Canal's route was not through Waverly, it is believed that several noteworthy interested parties, including Robert Lucas and James Emmitt, had a hand in redirecting the route of the Canal to pass through or near their land, thereby benefiting them personally.

Robert Lucas plotted the Canal right through his land near Jasper, while Emmitt had many interests in Waverly on the canal route, owned the first canalboat to pass through the Canal, the Governor Worthington. After several years of political battle, the county seat of Pike County was moved from Piketon to Waverly in 1861, Waverly remains the county seat to this day. In 1859, James Emmitt led a group of supporters to petition to remove the county seat to Waverly, which met with strong resistance from those with an interest in keeping the seat in Piketon, the county seat for over 45 years. To push the removal across the line, those in favor of moving the county seat to Waverly promised to provide a new courthouse as a gift to the people of Pike County in Waverly; this courthouse still stands on Second Street in Waverly. Additionally, a number of parties including James Emmitt created a bridge across the Scioto River in Waverly, which up until that point had required chartering a ferry boat to cross – this was no doubt another incentive to move the seat to Waverly.

In the end, despite a number of reported irregularities in the special election, the Waverly supporters were victorious, on November 11, 1861, the county commissioners ordered the removal of t
