Coventry’s center stands about 1,660 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,240 ft to 1,720 ft, a difference of 480 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Page Pond Hill, about 2,020 ft, 14 miles south-southeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Sonyea Group (shale, siltstone), from the Late Devonian, 359 to 384 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 19×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Shale, siltstone. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 17 mi of the line.
Shale. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Shale, sandstone, conglomerate. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Coventry reaches Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean by way of Wylie Brook and the Susquehanna: about 400 river miles.
Lake on the way: Lake Aldred.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Coventry; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Coventry has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 78° in July; winter nights fall to about 15° in January. A normal year brings about 86 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 42 inches of water.
On November 14 Coventry normally reaches 46° and falls to 31°. The record high is 66°, in 1989; the record low 12°, in 1986. The most rain on this date, 1.54 in, fell in 1972.
