Feb. 4, 2007 — Average monthly temperatures and precipitation, in degrees Fahrenheit and in inches. I don’t remember where I found this data online.

Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
High Temp. 76 79 81 84 86 83 79 79 78 79 78 76
Low Temp. 47 49 50 54 58 61 60 60 59 55 49 47
Precipitation 0.5 0.2 0.2 0.3 1 6.3 9.7 7.6 5.8 2.3 0.4 0.5

These numbers are interesting. Note that March, April, especially May and June are the hottest months. Once the rains begin it cools off, so the months that we think of as summer are cooler than spring.

Of course, climate and weather are two different things! It’s been raining hard off and on this weekend, complete with one long dramatic thunderstorm. I’m sure we had way more than the February average 0.2″ of rain this afternoon alone.

But it sure beats what we hear about from up north!
