65° on Nov. 14, 2005, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1994. Next is 65° in 2012.
Dennysville’s center stands about 60 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 0 ft to 200 ft, a difference of 200 ft: gently rolling country. Open water lies within three miles. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Cooper Hill, about 730 ft, 13 miles west-northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Silurian Edmunds Formation (felsic-volcanic, mafic-volcanic), from the Silurian, 422 to 445 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.
Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Felsic-volcanic, mafic-volcanic. Age: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Felsic-volcanic, mafic-volcanic. Age: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Felsic-volcanic, mafic-volcanic. Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Felsic-volcanic, mafic-volcanic. Age: Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.

Rain that falls on Dennysville runs straight into the Atlantic Ocean.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Dennysville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Dennysville has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 77° in July; winter nights fall to about 11° in January. A normal year brings about 95 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 55 inches of water.
On November 14 Dennysville normally reaches 46° and falls to 31°. The record high is 65°, in 2005; the record low 15°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 1.21 in, fell in 2006.
