Pell City sees about 65 days a year at 90°F or hotter. Heat wears a battery out faster than cold does, so a battery that seems fine in spring can quit in August. Get it tested once it is three years old. Heat also works the AC, the cooling fan and the coolant hard, and those jobs pile up in the first hot weeks of the year.

It freezes on about 60 nights a year here. Not many, but the first cold snap is when a weak battery shows itself, so test it in the fall.

About 52 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.

The average commute in Pell City is 27 minutes each way, and 84% of workers drive there alone.
