Norfolk’s 2024 November and December Weather
The Weather Finally Changed By Russell Russ The weather during the first three weeks of November was an extension of the weather we had seen in September and October.

Norfolk’s October 2024 Weather
Dry Weather and Extreme Fire Danger By Russell Russ September’s dry conditions intensified in October, which was even drier.
