What drying runs into in Natchez
Serving Natchez and the surrounding area, including Natchez Historic District.
Local housing stock
The typical Natchez house dates to 1964, with close to nine in ten of the stock (90.7 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1960s work. Around a median of 1964 with more than nine in ten houses older, and a historic core far older than that, the characteristic house has a full-height covered gallery running the width of the front, carried on columns.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Natchez gets 58.69 inches a year with January heaviest at 5.67, and the drying season runs from a 46.4-degree January to a 80.4-degree July; rain recorded at VIDALIA #2 3.2 miles away and temperatures at NATCHEZ 4.2 miles away. January is the wettest month at 5.67 inches of a 59-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain lands in the coolest, dampest part of the year, when nothing about a shaded gallery floor is drying.
How water losses tend to end in Natchez
- A structure outside the walls, so its framing is exposed weather-side on every face
- An upper gallery floor over living space, so a failure in it lands inside the house
- Column bases standing on the deck, so the load points sit where water collects
