Baltimore-Washington International Airport

The Robb Report

Baltimore is the largest city in the state of Maryland. Baltimore is located in central Maryland on the western coast of the Chesapeake Bay. In Baltimore, Maryland, United States, Interstate 95 runs through the southwestern quadrant of the city before turning east, skirting the edge of the central business district and crossing the Patapsco River via the Fort McHenry Tunnel. Beyond the tunnel, it turns north and exits the city just beyond the northern terminus of Interstate 895.The climate in Baltimore is humid subtropical. The ocean influences the climate of Baltimore somewhat. Baltimore gets rather hot, humid summers and cool, moist winters. Interesting enough, Baltimore rarely experiences temperatures below 10 degrees F or above 100 degrees F. The Baltimore metro area is usually several degrees cooler than the city and the coastal towns due to an urban heat island effect in the city proper and a moderating effect of the Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore experiences light to moderate snowfall in the winter.
