November 2022 Summary

A warm and dry November

It was a tale of two parts of the month in terms of temperature, the first 12 days had an average high of 16.4°C while for the rest of the month the average was only 3.7°C.  That first part was warm enough that the overall temperature was 1.8 degrees above average, which made it the most above average of any month this year.

It was also dry during that first half of the month, with only 15 mm in the first 15 days.  Although it was a bit wetter in the second half the total only got to 48.6 mm, a lot less than the average of 87.1 mm, and the driest November in the last 10 years.

The total precipitation for the year of 507.3 mm is well below the average of 832.9 mm.  This is now the fourth driest first 11 months of the year in the history of records in the region, which go back to 1917.

The total snowfall of 16.5 cm was a bit more than the average of 13 cm for November.
