Regional context

Per NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals, Red Hill runs from a 29°F January mean to 75°F in July, a 47°F seasonal spread, with near 44.9 inches of precipitation across about 180 wet days.

Red Hill's precipitation spreads evenly: December peaks at 4.3 inches on 13.8 wet days, while February holds 2.9 inches over 12.8 — no month dominates Red Hill's rain calendar. That lines Red Hill up with places like Pennsburg, PA, East Greenville, PA and Green Lane, PA, fed by overlapping storm tracks.

Once Red Hill passes mid-April, overnight freezes fade and kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips can be sown. Red Hill's heat-lovers — tomatoes, peppers, squash — hold off until Red Hill's frost risk clears, 10-14 days on. The season ends by mid-November in Red Hill, once hard frosts set back in. Red Hill's low ground holds frost later into spring than Red Hill's benches, which run 3-5 days ahead.

Similar climates: Pennsburg, PA, East Greenville, PA, Green Lane, PA, Woxall, PA, Spinnerstown, PA.
