A November day hotter than any one in October

The high temperature on the 8th got up to 18 degrees which was hotter than any day we saw in October and was the warmest day since September 27th.

Also as pointed out in the comments on the October summary by Rob Kuhn: the temperature didn't go above 20 degrees in all of October, which hasn't happened since 1987.

And in fact the 17.2 degree extreme high temperature this October was almost the record lowest since records began in the area over 90 years ago. We ended up tying 1925 when 17.2 was also the warmest temperature seen in October, but in every other year there was at least a single day that was warmer. My apologies for not recognizing this and putting it in the summary.

Do you keep records on sunny day or cloudy day streaks?

Frank - your summaries are always excellent and no apologies are ever needed. Thanks for the interesting info! It's hard to believe we are having this sustained warmth especially after October's chill, and the blustery taste of winter last Thursday.

This November is very similar with last year's, with a very warm first half. But we all know what happened during the latter half...
