Summer Recap

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have now entered Fall of 2014! Fall officially began Monday at 9:29PM CDT. 



With the climate books closing for Summer of 2014, let's take a look back at how we did this summer. Note that Meteorological Summer includes June, July, and August so for the sake of stats I will be going off Meteorological Summer in this post.

Let's take a look at our temperatures. This summer will go down in the record books as the 32nd coldest summer on record with an average temperature of 79.8 Degrees. 

*Monthly Temperature Stats(1888-2014):
