90° on Nov. 16, 1957, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1892. Next is 89° in 1952.
Reddick’s center stands about 90 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 70 ft to 230 ft, a difference of 160 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Hawthorn Group, Coosawhatchie Formation (sand, clay), from the Middle Miocene to Late Miocene, 5.3 to 16 million years old.
The section below crosses 3 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, clay. Age: Middle Miocene to Late Miocene, 5.3 to 16 million years old. About 14 mi of the line.
Limestone. Age: Late Eocene, 34 to 38 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

Reddick has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 92° in July; winter nights fall to about 46° in January. About 52 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Reddick normally reaches 77° and falls to 54°. The record high is 87°, in 1945; the record low 28°, in 1932. The most rain on this date, 1.47 in, fell in 1941.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1892 at Ocala, 16 miles south-southeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
