October 22, 2024 Tuesday Weather Update

Very warm and dry weather continues into November

What the month did

October 2024 was the 2nd-warmest October in the 131-year national record (1895–2025), at 58.9°F against a 1991–2020 normal of 54.5°F (+4.4°F).

October 2024 was the 3rd-driest October in the 131-year national record (1895–2025), at 1.0in against a 1991–2020 normal of 2.5in (-1.5in).

NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

Quiet weather continues for the next 10-14 days into November.

There is some research that inclement early November weather can depress turnout especially when there’s a snowstorm or brutally cold temperatures. However, whatever impact that may have had is probably moot since so many Americans will have already voted by 2 weeks from now.
