Maryland General Climate
Maryland General Climate
This page is for students who need information about Maryland Climate, including normal temperatures, precipitation, etc. for the year.
Maryland has five unique geological regions (for a map click here), and for each region a station has been chosen for normals. This is because when geology changes so does the climate. All normals are over the time period 1971-2000.
