87° on Nov. 12, 1986, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1948. Next is 87° in 2011.
Clyattville’s center stands about 200 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 110 ft to 240 ft, a difference of 130 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Miccosukee Formation (clay, sand, gravel), from the Tertiary Neogene, 2.6 to 23 million years old.
The section below crosses 5 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.
Clay, sand, gravel. Age: Tertiary Neogene, 2.6 to 23 million years old. About 12 mi of the line.
Limestone, dolostone. Age: Oligocene, 23 to 34 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Sand, gravel. Age: Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 5.3 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sandstone, limestone. Age: Middle Miocene, 12 to 16 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Dolostone, sand, clay. Age: Miocene, 5.3 to 23 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Clyattville reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Withlacoochee and the Suwannee: about 150 river miles.
130 miles of the trip are on the Suwannee.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Clyattville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Clyattville has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 92° in July; winter nights fall to about 39° in January. About 48 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Clyattville normally reaches 72° and falls to 47°. The record high is 85°, in 1993; the record low 27°, in 1963. The most rain on this date, 1.17 in, fell in 2018.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1948 at Valdosta Regional Airport, 6 miles north-northeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
