Final 2014 Data
« on: January 01, 2015, 08:41:23 AM »
For me it was a year of extremes. Record highs in temperature and rainfall. Hit a 101 in July which was impressive because in the Florida peninsula the Gulf is about 84 and the Atlantic is about 82 in my area in the middle of the state. For rainfall I was just under 63 inches which is also impressive because there was no tropical activity. Needed that because we have been below average, 49inches, for a while. Because of that rain I was also below normal in temps for every month of the year. When I say record I meant for the 11 years I have been recording data. Not official.
High- 101.0
Low- 28.7
Mean- -2.9
Rain- 62.92
High Wind- 27mph
Pressure High- 30.50
Pressure Low- 29.66
Wind Chill Low- 24
Heat Index High-114
Dewpoint High- 81
Dewpoint Low- 9

  Minimum temperature     -28.2°F on day 01 at time 07:27 month 3
 

Reminds me of working in SD. :shock:  ;)

Just realized that WD apparently doesn't list the coldest wind chill in these reports. That would be interesting.

Because that's the precision that WD uses for it.  It's deriving it however.  Davis doesn't use three places in the decimal.

Here's my data for the year:
