Norfolk’s May 2019 Weather
Not Norfolk’s best By Russell Russ When will we see some sunshine? That was the theme for May’s weather. It was the theme for April’s weather as well. Difficult to say why our weather has been so dreary this spring, but it sure will be nice when the sunshine returns—and for more than a day […]
Norfolk’s April 2018 Weather
Seventh Wettest April on Record By Russell Russ April is the transition month between winter and spring. It can have traits of both winter and spring, and that is what Norfolk saw this April. It was warm enough early in the month to end the maple syrup season in the Norfolk area, but the remainder […]
Norfolk’s March 2019 Weather
Third Driest March on Record By Russell Russ March can be a month that sees some strong nor’easters that can bring heavy snow or rain or both. March of 2018 was a prime example, with three storms that helped push last March’s snowfall total to 43.5 inches. That was not the case this March. While […]
Norfolk’s February 2019 Weather
Wintertime, More or Less By Russell Russ You cannot judge a complete month’s weather by looking at just a few days. The first few days of February were quite cold with below-zero temperatures.

Norfolk’s October 2018 Weather
An average October By Russell Russ Many recent months have been high-ranking for temperature or precipitation, or both. Something we have not seen much of lately is an average weather month, but that is just about what October was. The month started out warm with some late summer-like weather. That all changed by the […]
Norfolk’s September 2018 Weather
Warm and Wet By Russell Russ September weather in Norfolk this year was mostly cloudy and humid for much of the month. Temperatures and rainfall were both well above normal. September is prime hurricane season, and the Carolinas were hit with a devastating rainstorm when Hurricane Florence made landfall Sept. 14. Remnants of Florence […]
Norfolk’s August 2018 Weather
More Heat and Humidity By Russell Russ August continued our summer of heat and humidity here in Norfolk. It was another hot and humid month with above-average rainfall, kind of like it has been all summer long. If you like your summers hot then this year was your year. August’s low temperature of 52 degrees […]
Norfolk’s July 2018 Weather
Fourth Warmest Month on Record By Russell Russ July was a wet and very warm month. Compared to more urban locations, Norfolk typically sees cooler summer temperatures.
