November and December Weather and a Yearly Summary for 2018
Lots of Warmth and Precipitation By Russell Russ The year of 2018 was a wet one, and the months of November and December were also above normal for precipitation with both months adding to our yearly surplus. The previous three years were all below normal for precipitation, but 2018 ended that—and then some. The conclusion […]
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. The town’s forested landscape and higher elevation play heavily into this cooling influence. Sometimes, though, the heat and humidity during the dog days of summer can overtake […]

Norfolk’s May 2018 Weather
From Prolonged Winter to Second Warmest May on Record By Russell Russ Once again, May was Norfolk’s transition month into summer, although this year it seemingly happened in just the span of a day or two. Temperatures went from a low of 34 degrees on May 1 (with snowfall on April 30) to a […]
Norfolk’s April 2018 Weather
Prolonged Winter By Russell Russ April began cool and snowy and it stayed that way throughout most of the month. Warm and beautiful early spring days were few and very far between this April. It was more like winter was the unwanted guest that just would not leave the party. Late March showed signs […]
Norfolk’s March 2018 Weather:
Fourth Snowiest March on Record By Russell Russ March was a month full of nor’easters. The brief warm-up in February fooled everyone into thinking winter was over and spring was here. March relentlessly brought us back to reality. The first day of March was warm, the warmest day of the month actually, but it […]
Norfolk’s February 2018 Weather
Third Warmest February on Record By Russell Russ Much like last year, this February started off very winter-like. All ponds were iced over, temperatures were seasonably cold, there was snow on the ground and snow was falling. Through two-thirds of the month, winter, which took hold in late December and continued all through January, […]
