Late season warmth
8:36 AM, Saturday, November 15, 2008 .. 2 Comments .. Permalink

Florida is many people's dream of paradise; warm all year round. Having lived here most of the past 25 years, I can say that sometimes the warmth gets a bit old. I remember Thanksgiving and Christmas in the mid 80s plenty of times growing up. The lack of a dramatic seasonal change can cause one year to run into the next, and sometimes you forget what month it is.

When I moved to the northeast part of the state, this changed somewhat. Here, there is a subtle seasonal change. In fact, sometimes it gets pretty cold, although the cold is short lived. I would describe our two seasons as:

1. A combination of Fall and Spring (running from Nov - March
2. Summer: April - October

However, this week was classic Florida in November, no hint of fall anywhere. Temps were in the low 80's during the day, and 60's at night, no jacket required.  And, since I am about to take a trip to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving, the warmth is just fine with me.

Since I missed the last 2 days, I will group a couple of observations together:

Thursday:
High: 81
Low: Around 65
Weather: Wind was SE. There were some showers in the afternoon.

Friday:
High: 82
Low: around 65
Weather: Breezy SW wind ahead of our next cold front. Skies were mostly cloudy.

I still have to research and purchase a weather station, so my observations are still approximate.
