Coldest Year Since 1985…So Far

Some spare time this evening between shows.  I started wondering what the cool spring and cool summer, plus now a cooler than average November/December means for our yearly temperature.    Quite a bit…we’re running with the coolest average yearly temp we’ve seen in 26 years here in Portland.  Now this graph shows the average of the entire Oregon Climate Division #2 (areas between the Coast Range and foothills of the Cascades) through November.

What does it mean? Newsflash: It’s been chilly this year!

This only applies to the Pacific Northwest; check out the graph for the entire USA.   The incredible summer heat and warm spring temps in the eastern part of the USA gave the country another above average year, another one in a long string of warm years since the late 1990s.
