74° on Nov. 17, 1953, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1919. Next is 71° in 2022.
Ingallston’s center stands about 680 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 610 ft to 720 ft, a difference of 110 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Trenton Limestone (limestone, dolostone), from the Late Ordovician, 445 to 459 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.
Limestone, dolostone. Age: Late Ordovician, 445 to 459 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Early Ordovician, 471 to 487 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Limestone. Age: Late Ordovician, 445 to 459 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.

Rain that falls on Ingallston runs straight into Lake Michigan. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.

Ingallston has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 80° in July; winter nights fall to about 10° in January. A normal year brings about 44 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 33 inches of water.
On November 14 Ingallston normally reaches 44° and falls to 29°. The record high is 67°, in 1958; the record low 10°, in 1933. The most rain on this date, 0.70 in, fell in 2024.
