WEATHERWISE DURING OCTOBER 2023, SHREVEPORT RECORDED ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL. THE AVERAGE MONTHLY
TEMPERATURE OF 70.3 DEGREES TIED WITH 1935 AND 1928 AS THE 21ST
WARMEST OCTOBER ON RECORD. WHILE THE FIRST SEVERAL DAYS OF THE MONTH
CONTINUED WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES, A TWO WEEK STINT DURING
THE MONTH OBSERVED NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES, BEFORE A MORE
PROLONGED AND PRONOUNCED WARMING TREND RETURNED BY THE 19TH, WHICH
CONTINUED THROUGH THE 29TH WITH RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES TIED ON THE
20TH AND 28TH. A RECORD HIGHEST MINIMUM TEMPERATURE WAS ALSO TIED ON

MEASURABLE RAINFALL, 3 OF THESE DAYS RECORDED AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF
