Cool days and clear skies
Posted: 08 Sep 2011 05:50 AM
The weather these past few days has been remarkable for cool high
temperatures along with mostly clear skies overhead. The featured
chart attempts to look at the relationship of having cool days along
with mostly clear skies or northerly winds. While the determination of
these two criteria was somewhat arbitrary, the signal appears to be
reasonable. Having northerly winds is common for these cool days, but
least important during the summer time when the air to our north may
not be that cold. Clear skies are the least common during May and
June, when are surface heating rates are the largest.
