As you can see, we have had eight days thus far\u00a0in September\u00a0with temperatures 10 degrees or more above or below normal.\u00a0\u00a0Seven of those eight were below normal, six of those were 15 or more degrees cooler than usual.\u00a0 We had one day, the 5th, when we the mercury only climbed to 54 degrees –\u00a0a whopping 27 degrees below<\/em> what we would normally expect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That in and of itself is noteworthy but also notice the temperature swings from day to day.\u00a0 12 days we have had temperature swings of 10 degrees or more.\u00a0 Four of those days had swings of 20 degrees or more!\u00a0 On the 8th we dropped 27 degrees from the previous day and were 18 degrees below<\/em> normal.\u00a0 We then followed that\u00a0up on the 9th by climbing 34 degrees above what we had on the 8th and were 7 degrees above<\/em> normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now that is some weird weather and if you feel like things have been going up and down – you are right!\u00a0<\/p>\n
