78° on Nov. 11, 2020, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1894. Next is 76° in 1909.
Beulah Beach’s center stands about 600 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 560 ft to 780 ft, a difference of 220 ft: rolling country.
The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 51×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone, shale. Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 10 mi of the line.
Shale, black-shale. Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.

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

Beulah Beach has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 83° in July; winter nights fall to about 19° in January. A normal year brings about 33 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 40 inches of water.
On November 14 Beulah Beach normally reaches 50° and falls to 34°. The record high is 76°, in 1909; the record low 10°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 2.35 in, fell in 1955.
