November Weather Summery for Forsyth for 2011

If one were to accept Global Warming as fact, then the month of November for 2011 was ‘normal’. The temperature mean for the month was 49°F versus a historical average of 45°F. So, we were 4 degrees warmer than the average. One interesting side note was that while the daytime temps were cooler than normal, the nighttime was much warmer than normal.

The month was also wetter with 5.6 inches of precipitation against a 30 year average of 5.9 inches. (Note that I am using source data for West Plains Mo. Rather than Springfield).

This pattern of ‘wetter’ and warmer runs against other indicators including the state of waters off the South Americas. Right now we are in a La Nina phase which would normal indicate dryer conditions for the Central United States.
