4TH DRIEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD

TEMPERATURES IN NOVEMBER WERE ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THE FIRST TWO THIRDS
OF THE MONTH, BEFORE A PATTERN SHIFT TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
AROUND THANKSGIVING AND TO FINISH OUT THE MONTH. THERE WERE 7 DAYS
WITH HIGHS AT OR ABOVE 60 DEGREES, WHICH IS ABOVE AVERAGE (NORMALLY
THERE ARE 5 DAYS WITH HIGHS AT OR ABOVE 60 IN NOVEMBER). OVERALL,
THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH WAS 41.7 DEGREES. THIS IS 1.9
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AND TIES FOR THE 45TH WARMEST NOVEMBER ON
RECORD IN SOUTH BEND.

THE LACK OF PRECIPITATION THIS MONTH IS LIKELY THE MOST NOTABLE
STATISTIC. OVER HALF OF THE MONTHLY TOTAL PRECIPITATION FELL IN JUST
24 HOURS; THE HIGHEST DAILY RAINFALL TOTAL WAS 0.51" ON NOVEMBER
21ST. PRECIPITATION TOTALED ONLY 0.81" FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH! THIS IS
1.97" BELOW NORMAL AND WAS THE 4TH DRIEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD FOR
SOUTH BEND. THIS WAS THE DRIEST NOVEMBER SINCE 2012. RECORDS BEGAN
IN 1893.

ONLY TWO DAYS IN NOVEMBER HAD MEASURABLE SNOW: NOVEMBER 26TH AND
NOVEMBER 28TH. THE TOTAL OF 2.1" OF SNOW FOR THE MONTH WAS 3.0"
BELOW NORMAL. NOVEMBER 2023 TIES FOR THE 39TH LEAST SNOWIEST ON
RECORD.

NO RECORDS WERE SET THIS MONTH.
