The 1969-Fall Season 1 August through 30 November 1969 By Carol Urness |
During the month of August generally warm and very dry weather prevailed over the state. The month's sunny skies, however, were not as memorable as its twelve tornadoes, including one that caused loss of life and serious property damage at Outing on August 6. Aside from that date, when there was some rain in most of the state, there was little precipitation in August.
September brought normal rainfall to the north, but continued dry weather to the south. August-September proved to be the driest period for the Twin Cities in the 131 years of records kept at Fort Snelling.
The weather in October was generally wetter and colder than normal.
The temperature averaged about 5 degrees lower than usual for the month. month the Indian summer weather early in November was most welcome.
The temperature during the month averaged 10 degrees above normal, and like Napoleon, we could pretend that winter would never come.
There were 267 species listed on 50 reports for the fall season-five more species and five less reports than last year. In the citations the general practice has been to choose significant dates for north and south counties, and to list concentrations when they were noteworthy. The order of presentation is date, place, number if used, and observer. It should be mentioned that there were many reporters for the Twin City area.
