November temps were below nomal for most of the month desite one very brief warm period around the 10th and 11th of the month.
It was a very active month in terms of storms! We averaged 1 noreaster per week this month as you can see by the noteable pressure falls during the period. This was a definite high amplitude pattern!
As often is the case, wind speed increases corolate quite well with pressure falls. This month was a very windy month as one storm after another stirred up the atmosphere.
Humidity values for the month of November were quite high as a moist NE to E flow would set up during each nor'easter. Dry air would follow these storms, but with the frequency of storms it wouldn't last long.
With high humidity values this month it is no wonder that dewpoints followed actual air temperatures very closely. With the departure of each storm, dry air would lower dewpoint values, but only briefly.
November is one of the most wettest months of the year and this November certainly was no excetrion. Actually, it was even wetter than average by almost three tenths of an inch.
This is a new sensor that is part of my new weather station. Solar radiation is a measure of the intensity of the sun's radiation reaching a horizontal surface. Obviously this reading is highly dependent on cloud cover and time of year. This month's frequency of storms made for a lot of days with low W/M2 values. Also, we are rapidly approaching the shortest days of the year, this also reduces the amount of W/M2 values. In the following months, notice how the solar radiation values change in corollation with the time of year.
Average temps on this graph are represented by the two horizontal teal lines, one for high and one for low temps. This months max temp occured on the 11th with a reading of 66F. The min temp of 18F occured on the 28th. Nineteen days out of the month saw below average high temps. Eleven days were below average for low temps. Ten days were above average for high temps. Seventeen days were above average for low temps. Eleven days were below average for low temps.Only one day was average for the high temp, and only two days were average for low temps.
The max pressure for the month of November occured on the 19th with a reading of 30.36InHg. The min pressure occured on the 6th with a reading of 29.12InHg.
The peak wind gust for the mont was 40 MPH on the 23rd.
Eight days out of the month saw gusts of 30MPH or greater. Twentyone days saw gusts of 20MPH or greater.
The max average wind speed occured on the 23rd with a reading of 13.8 MPH. The min average wind speed (greater than 0MPH) occured on the 3rd with a reading of 2.3MPH. There were 3 days with average wind speeds of 25MPH or greater. There were 8 days of 20MPH or greater. The average speed for the entire month was 6.8MPH.
The min windchill for the month was -6F on the 28th. We had 7 days with wind chills below 10F. And there were 2 days with wind chills below 0F.
November featured 10 days with 100% RH. The min humidity was 21%RH on the 7th.
An almost mid summer max dew point of 65F occurred on the 11th. Just 5 days before that the min dew point of the month occurred with a reading of 1F on the 6th.
Total rain for the month was 4.76", which was slightly above the norm of 4.24". The max daily rainfall total for the month was 1.10" on the 17th.
A maximum solar radiation value of 870W/M2 occurred on the 9th.
