November is officially in the rear-view mirror, and the month, not surprisingly, was cooler- and drier-than-normal across southwestern Connecticut.

The average monthly temperature for the 30-day period was 43.6 degrees F, which is 2.4 degrees below normal. Twenty of the 30 days last month featured cooler-than-normal average temperatures. In fact, nine of the last 12 days of the month were colder-than-normal.

The high temperature for November at the Bridgeport climate station was 63 degrees, which occurred November 5th and 17th. The coldest temperature was 24 degrees on November 25th. Fourteen days featured a morning low of 32 degrees or colder.

More than three inches of precipitation (3.07") fell at Bridgeport, which was just 0.04" below normal for the month. Seven days featured at least one-hundredth of an inch of rain; there were four days with at least one-tenth of an inch of rain; there was one day with at least one-half inch of rain; and there was one day with at least one inch of rain.


The greatest 24-hour rainfall happened November 21st and 22nd when 2.61" fell. The first half of the month featured only one day (November 7) with more than one-hundredth of an inch of rain (0.20").
