The latest US climate statistics for October 2019 were released today and show that for the Southeast as a whole, the average temperature was the third warmest on record. Florida was the second warmest ever, especially in the southern part of the peninsula. The precipitation was the 11th wettest, but of course there was a lot of variability across the region. For the year to date, a large portion of the Southeast is at record-setting high levels, but precipitation in most of the region is below normal.
