74° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1941. Next is 70° in 1956.
Perrysburg’s center stands about 1,340 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 740 ft to 1,690 ft, a difference of 950 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Arab Hill, about 2,150 ft, 14 miles southwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Northeast Shale and Shumla Siltstone (shale, siltstone), from the Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old.
The section below crosses 7 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 16×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.

A raindrop that lands in Perrysburg reaches Lake Erie by way of Little Indian Creek and Cattaraugus Creek: about 14 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.

Perrysburg has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 79° in July; winter nights fall to about 13° in January. A normal year brings about 133 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 49 inches of water.
On November 14 Perrysburg normally reaches 47° and falls to 29°. The record high is 67°, in 2010; the record low 11°, in 1942. The most rain on this date, 1.10 in, fell in 1972.
