Monthly Summary: November 2012
The
precipitation total for the year increased to 16.65 inches during November
2012. This is about 7 inches below the 90-year average, but only 3.5 inches
below the 5-year average. Since this is the second year of autumnal drought in
a row, we will see drastic changes in the water table as well as in farming uses next
year. The mean temperature was in normal range, but above the 90-year average.
This is mainly due to the increase in minimum temperatures.
Interesting
enough, the annual mean precipitation has decreased significantly:
