Dell weather and a seasonal business

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Blytheville, 8.6 miles away, put the July average high at 90°F and the January average low at 30°F. About 52 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. About 58 days a year hit 90°F or more. With this much rain, roofing, gutters and drainage work never run out of calls, often after a storm. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, say so in plain words and keep the contact form short.

• Arkansas’s state sales and use tax rate is 6.5%, and cities and counties add local rates on top of it. Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration
