December 1st through 9th was warmer than normal.
The average high temperature of 76.0°F
(24.4°C) was 9.6°F (5.3°C) above normal. Several
storm systems moved through the area the rest of the month. These brought
colder and wet weather to the area. When these extremes were averaged, the
overall result was close to average readings for the entire month. Average high
temperatures were 66.1°F
(18.9°C), which was 1.3°F (0.72°C) above normal. The
average temperature was similar, 1.5°F
(0.83°C) above normal.
Rainfall
at the official location was above normal for a change, 1.18” (29.97mm). This
is 0.25” (6.35mm) above normal. My location was similar at 1.22” (30.99mm). The
rainfall made my husband happy with his new rainwater harvesting system.
However, for the first time in 8 years, I had to move my stargazing night
inside after already rescheduling it twice because of cloudy weather for 2
months in a row on the nights we had scheduled.
