A humid, four-season DC-suburb climate

Greenbelt shares the same warm-to-hot, humid summers and cold winters documented across the DC metro and this dataset's other Maryland Tier B markets.

Localized flash-flood potential in wooded, stream-crossed terrain

Greenbelt Park's wooded, stream-crossed terrain carries localized flash-flood potential after heavy rain, typical of the DC-suburb Piedmont/Coastal Plain transition zone -- a real, though limited, hazard consideration distinct from direct Chesapeake Bay tidal flooding.

No meaningful tornado or earthquake risk

Maryland carries no meaningful tornado or earthquake exposure statewide (see maryland.js); Greenbelt sits well inland from direct Chesapeake Bay tidal-flooding exposure.
