Columbus (WCMH) – Today we set a brand new record of 75°. The old record high was 73° set back in 1954.
So how abnormal is it that we get this warm, this late in the season?
In short… very! In fact, we have had only 1 day on record the rest of the year that has been warmer than today.
- Today we hit 75°, in history, we have hit 75° one more time in November, and that was back on the 27th of 1990.
- We have had 5 days ever in the 70s in December, and only one that was as warm as today
- In 1982, on the 3rd of December we hit 76°
- In January we have never been as warm as we were today, but the warmest day in January on record is 74°
- In February we have hit 75° once
Bottom line, don’t expect temps like today much over the next 102 days.
On record, our record highs have only been warmer than today 1% of the time (1 time).
If you expand it out, of the 14110 days in the past 138 years between November 19th and the start of March, only 1 of those days has been warmer than today.I hope you enjoyed today, because it most most likely will not happen again until at least March of 2017.
