Record Warmth

While November started on a cold note, December has started on an unseasonably warm note for Central Alabama.

At 2 pm, the temperature at the Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport was 75 degrees, only 3 degrees away from the record of 78 set in 1998. But for Anniston and Tuscaloosa, their 2 pm readings were already tying the record highs. The record high for Anniston is 75 degrees which was set in 1982. And in Tuscaloosa, the record is 76 set in 1961.

It’s highly likely that both of these stations will establish new record highs for this date, but getting an additional 4 degrees at Birmingham is not as likely.

And just to put it all in perspective, these temperatures are way above our record lows which range from 19 in Birmingham to 21 at Tuscaloosa.
