25° on Nov. 13, 2019, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1945. Next is 26° in 1969.
Pine Level’s center stands about 240 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 150 ft to 270 ft, a difference of 120 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Citronelle Formation (sand), from the Late Pliocene, 2.6 to 3.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sand. Age: Late Pliocene, 2.6 to 3.6 million years old. About 21 mi of the line.
Clay, sand. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Sand, clay. Age: Miocene to Pliocene, 2.6 to 23 million years old. About 0.8 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 5.3 million years old. About 0.5 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

A raindrop that lands in Pine Level reaches Pensacola Bay and the Gulf of America by way of Blackjack Creek, West Fork Big Coldwater Creek, Big Coldwater Creek and the Blackwater: about 35 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Pine Level; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Pine Level has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 91° in July; winter nights fall to about 39° in January. About 63 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Pine Level normally reaches 71° and falls to 45°. The record high is 84°, in 1985; the record low 30°, in 1969. The most rain on this date, 1.31 in, fell in 1961.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1945 at Whiting Field Nas, 15 miles southeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
