Weekend temperatures set cold mark in Key West

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo saw the lowest dip in temperatures at 52 degrees Sunday morning. Marathon had the second lowest temperature of the weekend with 56 degrees.

Key West hit 61 degrees and reached just 70 degrees Sunday, eclipsing the city's 1887 record for the lowest daytime high for Nov. 2 of 72 degrees.

"The story began Friday when the wind started to ramp up behind the initial cold front that was weaker," said Matthew Bloemer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Key West. "Saturday had a much more robust cold front coming through followed by very abrupt wind speeds."

It would have been even colder but for the cows farting-up the atmosphere.
 
I wish I had bought a weather station with a logger in the 90's, then I'd have some interesting data now. Still considering it but it's not a priority.

From what I can remember, we had some pretty decent hot summers in the 90's and we used to be able to walk/skate on the ice for a week or more a year. In the 00's we had very little snow or walkable ice and summers weren't as hot as before on average - less extremes. Now in the last few years we have been getting colder winters and hotter summers again. This year we had a lot warm days but no real extremes. So far it seems to me like this is going to be a mild winter, the predictions from the national weather service are that we're going to have a cold winter. We'll see, they have been wrong more than once.
 
It's not "Global Warming" anymore. Get with it. It's "CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!!!" Your post just proved that the CLIMATE changed from the norm. They win.

There are these roughly 7-12 year "El Niño / La Niña" cycles that have a lot to do with ocean currents and the jetstreams.

If you are just looking for data, you can get it at the following site.

Cold temp record for the day.
But the Key West low temp record is 41 degrees.

^^ My go-to weather people. Demonstrated most accurate time and again. I used to keep 3 or 4 different weather apps on my phone, and I don't bother anymore. I've never actually been to their website. All I know is their smartphone weather app makes everyone else's look like a rotary phone.
 
Take that back. I have been to their web site. it's just been a long time ago and I'm going senile.
 
Climate Changes are ALL driven by the cyclic (and sometimes random)
output fluctuations from the sun that result in Earth's overall climate
...but it supposedly can be CONTROLLED!

Just need virgins and an active volcano...

If that does not work, mankind may have to once again,
carefully choose and then vote for a final solution.

Actually I'm kinda looking for a giant volcano to just emerge out of the south west Indian Ocean, followed by the loss of the San Andreas fault. I imagine California will become an archipelago. I wish all those people could be somewhere safe if/when it happens, but what am I going to do, walk around LA in a sandwich board? ;)

This is our first year of deep El Niño in a very long time. The last La Niña went on for ev er.
 
Climatology predictions suffers the same problems as economic predictions, to many variables and not enough accurate data.

Some things are pretty well known. How the jet streams react to ocean currents, red tides in Eastern South America corresponding to distinct weather patterns in North America. It's like sociology, trends are easy, events are impossible.
 
The cat in the cage is pacing and acting quite nervous,
so the time draws nigh indeed...

Keep those escape bathyscaphe batteries fully charged
and check the expiration dates on your food rations!

I'm not convinced. Recognizing a trend happening is one thing, but how do you predict when or what a future trend will be? Regardless, modeling a sophisticated system is a fools errand.
