86° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1892. Next is 85° in 1958.
Warner Robins’s center stands about 310 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 260 ft to 440 ft, a difference of 180 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Andrews Hill, about 600 ft, 10 miles north-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Providence Sand, from the Cretaceous, 66 to 145 million years old.
The section below crosses 8 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 60×. 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: Eocene, 34 to 56 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Clay. Age: Eocene, 34 to 56 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Cretaceous, 66 to 145 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Fine-detrital. Age: Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Warner Robins reaches the Atlantic Ocean by way of Bay Gall Creek, Sandy Run Creek, the Ocmulgee and the Altamaha: about 290 river miles.
160 miles of the trip are on the Ocmulgee.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Warner Robins; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Warner Robins has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 94° in July; winter nights fall to about 36° in January. About 47 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Warner Robins normally reaches 70° and falls to 42°. The record high is 83°, in 1955; the record low 21°, in 2013. The most rain on this date, 1.40 in, fell in 1957.
