Two warm-weather records were set in the recent three-day warmup in Berks County and rest of the mid-Atlantic.
They were the 67-degree low on Sunday at Reading Regional Airport and the 76-degree high there on Monday.
There are four temperature records for each date: the warmest and coolest high, and the warmest and coolest low.
The 67 was the warmest low for a Nov. 6, knocking off 64 from 1938; and the 76 was the warmest high for a Nov. 7, bettering 75 from 1975.
The 67 was also the warmest low on record for any November, topping 65, which has occurred on three dates in the first week of the month.
Weather conditions have reverted to seasonable. On Friday, rain is expected from early afternoon on, and might wash out some plans for Veterans Day, AccuWeather says.
The recent warmup was at nearly the same time as two years ago, though of shorter duration. In November 2020, balmy conditions moved in on the 6th with temperatures in the 70s at the airport for five days in a row, including a record 79 on Nov. 8.
And that run of five days was bookended by 69-degree days.
November 2020 went on to become the third-warmest November in a temperature database that begins with 1898.
Berks weather historian Jeffrey R. Stoudt noted that quite a few years are represented in warm weather records in early November, even some from the cold 1970s and ’80s.
“Point is, warmups to at least the mid-70s in early November are actually not too uncommon,” he said.
