===Topography===
The area is part of the Scottsburg lowlands geographic region of [[Southern Indiana]]. This area is characterized by its relatively flat terrain, which contrasts with the rugged hills of the nearby [[Norman Upland]]s and the [[Knobstone Escarpment]]. The lowlands are formed from older, more easily eroded shales, which have created a landscape distinct from the surrounding uplands and escarpments.  The soil is sandy but generally productive for agriculture and livestock.  The local topology is dominated by the East Fork of the [[White River (Indiana)|White River]], a slow-moving, heavily silted, and meandering floodplain.  Because of the surrounding low-lying swamplands and agricultural activity, the river is prone to frequent flooding averaging 19 days above flood stage per year; with at least three major floods recorded since 1900.<ref>Czuba, J. A., David, S. R., Edmonds, D. A., & Ward, A. S. (2019). ''Dynamics of surface-water connectivity in a low-gradient meandering river floodplain''.

=== Climate ===
Seymour experiences a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen classification]] "Cfa") characterized by high temperatures and evenly distributed precipitation throughout the year. Summers are influenced by moist maritime airflow, leading to warm, oppressive nights and convectional thunderstorms, with tropical cyclones enhancing rainfall in some regions. Winters are mild, with frosts not uncommon and precipitation primarily from frontal cyclones. The average annual temperature is 55.0&nbsp;°F (12.8&nbsp;°C), with July being the warmest month at 77.0&nbsp;°F (25&nbsp;°C) and January the coolest at 32.0&nbsp;°F (0&nbsp;°C).
