October 2022 Observations and Discussion

[hawkstwelve]

FSD finished the month with a +2.3 and -2.07 for temp and precip departures, respectively. A high of 85 occurred on 10/23 and a low of 17 on 10/18. A trace of snow was also recorded on 10/12.

Overall a fairly pleasant fall month with lots of sunshine and variable temperatures. Even had some thunderstorms. Wish we could score more in the precip department though. Hopefully November can flip that script.

I would not call it warm but with the dew point in the mid 50's it dose feel a little humid out today. I would think that there have not been too many Halloween's that have felt that way here in Grand Rapids.

my 3 year old boys were sweating in their cow costumes.  It sure felt "warm".

KC finished up with above average temperatures and below average precipitation.  At my house I did a little better on precip finishing the month with 2.6 inches of rain.

Oct. ended up being one of the driest months for a lot of us. My county was the driest though......

Our great stretch of autumnal weather will continue with well above normal temps through the middle of next week. We will then cool back to about normal. Mainly dry weather except for late Saturday night into Sunday AM.

The record high for today is 82 degrees set back in 1950. The record low was set the very next year with a 17 degree reading in 1951. The daily rainfall record is 1.24" from 1910.
