Maryland

Things to know...

Details that are different from state to state and may make your posting just a little bit easier!

• Weather & Natural Disasters

  Summers in Maryland bring warmth and humidity, while winters offer milder temperatures, with lows rarely dipping below -5°C or rising above 7°C. Though snowfall is possible, it is less frequent and heavy compared to more northern regions.
  
  While Maryland may not get as many named tropical storms as states further south, they do get their share of smaller and medium-sized storms with heavy rain, damaging winds, and flooding. In fact, from coastal flooding on the Eastern Shore to flash floods in Western Maryland rivers, flooding is the top weather-related hazard in Maryland.
