A cold November so far – but that’s about to change

It’s no secret that this month has been cold. November? More like Novembrrrr, am I right?

It has been well below normal with the average temperature in Portland 5.8° below average and Augusta 6.9° below normal.

Everyone keeps asking us about climate change. (And by asking, it’s more like I’m getting comments like, “So much for climate change, huh?!”)

But let us remember, this is weather. The climate is still changing, and it’s still not good. We can find may more examples of months with above normal average temperatures in recent years, than we can below normal average temperatures. Any by many I mean it’s like 5 to 1 or something close to that. Key takeaway to remember is that weather is not equal to climate.
