Here is Clifford out enjoying the botanical gardens on campus. Yesterday’s high (84F) was 35 degrees above the historical average high. Even the low temperature yesterday was two degrees above the normal high. As one person on the radio put it, a large part of North America has been in the midst of one of the largest weather anomalies in recent U.S. history, but it has largely gone uncommented on because it has been so pleasant (as long as you avoided the tornadoes and severe storms). Had the temperature anomaly been in the other direction, the low yesterday would have been -7F…far less pleasant.
