Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 47.3 inches that arrive in an average year, 4.95 fall in September; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 5.2 miles away at FRANCONIA 1.3 SSE. September leads at 4.95 inches of a 47.3 inch year, putting the peak in the tropical remnant season rather than in summer convection. Those systems rain steadily for a day or more, and on marine clay that sustained wetting is what mobilises ground that is otherwise stable.
Common moisture and mold problems in Newington Forest
- Marine clay with high shrink-swell, moving foundations through each wet and dry cycle
- Wooded ravine slopes in the creek headwaters where saturated clay becomes unstable
- Tropical remnants delivering a day of steady rain, which wets clay far deeper than a cloudburst
- 1980s basements cut into clay slopes with drainage sized for surface flow rather than seepage
