Norfolk’s May Weather
Eighth Warmest on Record By Russell Russ May started out cooler and much drier than normal.

Powerful Storm Hits Town
Norfolk’s April 2022 Weather By Russell Russ Spring got off to a slow start this year. It was a cool and cloudy early April with high temperatures staying in the 40s and 50s.

Nothing Special
March Weather by Russell Russ An accurate description of March’s weather this year would be that it was unremarkable. Last year it was warm, sunny and nice.

Seventh Warmest October on Record
Norfolk’s October 2021 Weather By Russell Russ October was another above normal month for both temperature and precipitation. The fall foliage season this year, for the most part, was not all that fantastic. There was some colorful foliage, especially early in the season in the swampy areas, but with many maples having issues with the […]
Warm and Wet — Again
by Russell Russ September was yet another nontypical weather month for Norfolk. It did not feel that warm or wet all month, but the final monthly totals told a different story. In a period of just about three days, remnants of a hurricane that landed on the Gulf Coast and then three weeks later a […]
Wettest July on Record
By Russell Russ On average, July is Norfolk’s warmest month of the year. July of 2020 was both the warmest July and the warmest of any month on record for Norfolk. This July might technically end up being the warmest month of 2021, but it sure did not feel like it. The month started out […]
