This is currently ranked as the 12th hottest March... we might have a shot at top 10 but I haven't run the numbers.
-
Its all about the dewpoint... 73 with sunny blue skies and a dewpoint of 40 is awesome. 73 with a dewpoint of 66 at 3am after a rainfall, with bugs and worms everywhere? -not so much lol
-
I use "hot" just to denote records- I like to have my page consistent. It gets sloppy when I write "hottest July" but "warmest December". Honestly some of the dewpoints and highest minimums felt quite uncomfortable to me- though technically not "hot" I guess.
-
Here's what I got so far on my webpage: 3 record highs broken and 2 tied in December 2015 2 record high minimums broken in December 2015 Hottest December ever Tied for 1st, most number of 70+ degree days (5) in December (2015) I'll post some analysis in January once we get the final departure number.
-
I love how BWI fell to 61 right before midnight just to screw us out of the monthly high minimum by one degree. Then we missed the record high by one degree today too lol We got daily record high and high minimum for yesterday, and will get high minimum for today too. Next up is breaking the record high on Sunday and then breaking the record for number of 70+ highs in December. I think we've pretty much clinched hottest December ever now. Merry Christmas to all of you!
-
Oh and BWI is gonna miss the record high by one degree... ugh
-
Just my opinion, but if we wind up with a +11 or +12 departure or something like that, I'd say this month is the more anomalous one and least likely to happen again. Shameless plug- I have a lot of the February 2015 BWI stats in the link in my signature btw
-
BWI just got more rain in one hourly obs (1.26") than the daily record (1.04")- good lord!
-
So looking at everything I think the following records are in play at BWI (hard to keep all these straight lol): Daily record high: Dec. 23, 24, 25 Daily record high minimum: Dec. 24, 25 Monthly record high: Dec. 24
-
Wow I had no idea 1998 had that many- thanks for looking this up!
-
Something else I was wondering but don't have enough data- what's the record for most number of 70+ degree days in December (and also any winter month) for BWI?
-
For BWI, using the 1981-2010 normals, I think 1/26/1950 might hold the record for biggest positive departure- I calculated a +37 departure for that day. 12/22/2013 was a +32 departure and the next best one I know of. For negative departure, I got -37 for 2/10/1899 and -33 for 1/19/1994. There may be others but that's the best I'm aware of.
-
My new goal is to tie or beat the monthly record high (77 degrees) on Christmas Eve. LWX forecast is up to 73 now.
-
I looked up BWI and found the biggest gap between #1 and #2 hottest of any month is 1.7 degrees between Nov. 1931 (54.7 degrees) and Nov. 1948 (53 degrees). Here's the gap in degrees between #1 and #2 in all 12 months: Jan 0.5 Feb 0.2 Mar 1.1 Apr 0.8 May 0.3 Jun 0.9 Jul 0.2 Aug 0.3 Sep 1.0 Oct 0.3 Nov 1.7 Dec 0.3

Yikes BWI got down to 21!? We really need that Christmas Eve torch now lol
-
Christmas Eve (along with Dec. 27) actually has the lowest record high for any day in December (65 degrees). I think we'll break the Christmas Eve one this year.
-
BWI is now at +9.1 which is #1... hopefully this weekend's seasonal weather doesn't ruin it too much.
-
Ugh down to 46 already, high minimum is about to get taken out. :-(
-
Actually I'm wondering if BWI can get the high minimum today too (46). Tonight into the morning should be no problem but the low for Tues night/ Wed morning is forecast to be 40- not sure if we can hold it through midnight.
-
BWI almost backed into a 4th straight record high at midnight. Lol this is unbelievable.
-
We did it again! High of 71.
-
I wonder if we can get today too? LWX has 69 & record is 71- just need a little nudge! We missed high minimum by one degree today. :-(
-
Yep, another record high for BWI. High minimum is off the table though. This is exciting to track- I wonder if we have a real chance at a top 5 hottest December at BWI. Headed back outside now to enjoy the beautiful weather
-
Record high tied today at BWI (71). Tomorrow's looking good too. How did the other airports do?
-
1917 was tied for 2nd coldest at BWI- 1989 was #1 by a pretty large margin. The most frustrating Decembers were 2011 and 2012, which finished 16th and 11th, respectively. I hope we can torch our way to #1 but we'd have to put up a +9.0 departure to get hottest December ever (1931) so that's gonna be very hard.
