Four real, distinct seasons

Wallingford experiences a genuine four-season climate typical of inland central Connecticut, with cold winters and warm, humid summers.

Genuinely lower coastal-storm exposure

Wallingford's inland location means it carries genuinely lower hurricane and storm-surge risk than this project's shoreline Connecticut markets, though inland river flooding remains a real, distinct risk.

No meaningful tornado or earthquake risk

Consistent with Connecticut's real, statewide hazard profile, Wallingford carries no meaningful earthquake or tornado risk, though the state's real May 15, 2018 tornado outbreak shows this risk is not zero anywhere in the state.
