74° on Nov. 14, 1999, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1938. Next is 72° in 2022.
Stockholm’s center stands about 720 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 660 ft to 1,160 ft, a difference of 500 ft: hilly country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Wabasha Hill, about 1,190 ft, 12 miles southeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Cambrian, undivided (sandstone), from the Cambrian, 487 to 542 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 36×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Dolostone. Age: Early Ordovician, 471 to 487 million years old. About 9 mi of the line.
Dolostone, sandstone. Age: Early Ordovician, 471 to 487 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Cambrian, 487 to 542 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Sandstone, siltstone, shale. Age: Middle Cambrian to Cambrian, 487 to 521 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Sandstone, siltstone, shale. Age: Cambrian, 487 to 497 million years old. About 0.4 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

A raindrop that lands in Stockholm reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Mississippi: about 1,750 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Stockholm; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Stockholm has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 83° in July; winter nights fall to about 4° in January. A normal year brings about 48 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 36 inches of water.
On November 14 Stockholm normally reaches 44° and falls to 25°. The record high is 74°, in 1999; the record low 3°, in 1996. The most rain on this date, 0.69 in, fell in 1951.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1938 at Theilman 1 SSW, 14 miles south-southeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
