November 2025 was much warmer than average, with precipitation ending up above average. The average temperature was 41.8 degrees, about 5.6 degrees above average, making it the 2nd warmest November on record. Both mild overnight lows plus warm daytime temperatures contributed to the above average readings.

Precipitation totaled 1.11 inches at my northside location, about a third of an inch above average. Most areas in the valley received amounts from about 0.95 to 1.25 inches, with the higher amounts in the foothills.

The first half of the month was warm and dry, with highs in the 60s and lows in the 20s to low 30s. Record warm highs were set or tied on the 2nd and 3rd (71 degrees) and also on the 15th. The second half of the month had a little above average temperatures, with readings in the 40s to low 50s and lows in the 20s.

There were 3 episodes of precipitation in the last 2 weeks of the month. Some light showers occurred on the 17th, with more substantial rain occurring on the 19th and 20th. A daily record for precipitation on the 20th was set as 0.59 inches fell. Another storm brought some snow and rain to the region on the 23rd, but the week of Thanksgiving ended up dry and mild.

The warmest high was 71 degrees on the 2nd and 3rd, while the coldest high was 42 degrees on the 23rd. The coldest low was 20 degrees on the 10th, while the warmest low was 35 degrees on the 4th.

October 2025 was quite a bit warmer than average, with rainfall ending up a little below average. The average temperature was 51.9 degrees, about 3.4 degrees above average, making it the 8th warmest October. Most of the warmth was due to some mild overnight lows and warm daytime highs during the first 2 weeks of the month.

Rainfall totaled 0.74 inches at my northside location, about a third of an inch below average. Most areas in the valley received amounts from about 0.60 to 0.90 inches, with the higher amounts across the far southern and far northern parts of the valley. A few spots totaled a little over an inch of rain in the far northern foothills.

The first 10 days of the month were warm and dry, with highs in the 70s and lows of 35 to 45 degrees. A band of moisture then moved into the area from the 11th to the 17th, bringing most of the rain for the month along with much milder overnight lows in the 40s to near 50. The last 2 weeks of the month saw a return to mainly mild and dry conditions, save for some rain on the 23rd. Highs were mainly in the 60s, with lows of 25 to 35 degrees. The coolest air so far this fall arrived during the last few days of the month.

The warmest high was 78 degrees on the 2nd and 3rd, while the coldest high was 58 degrees on the 28th. The coldest low was 18 degrees on the 29th, while the warmest low was 52 degrees on the 11th. Record warm lows occurred on the 11th, 14th and 15th as clouds and moisture kept the readings up overnight.

Overall, wind speeds for the month were a little below average, and there weren’t really any days that were windy all day. There were only 2 days with gusts of 35 mph or higher, with the highest gust of 47 mph occurring on the 4th.

September 2025 was just a bit warmer than average, with above average rainfall across most of the area. The average temperature was 60.3 degrees, about 0.7 degrees above average, mainly due to some slightly milder overnight lows.

Precipitation totaled 2.09 inches at my northside location, with most areas recording above average rainfall across the valley. There were just a few spots where rainfall was near average (see rainfall map below). A couple of localized rain storms moved through the northern parts of the valley during the first part of the month, but completely missed the southern areas. The main widespread rain event occurred on the 10th to the 13th, with most areas receiving around an inch of rain during that time span.

The month started off warm and dry, but there were a few storms producing localized heavy rain on the 4th and 5th. After another warm and dry spell during the second week, a cooler and more moist airmass moved into the region from the 10th to the 13th, bringing a large proportion of the rain for the month. For the final 2 weeks of September, there would be only a few days with some spotty showers here and there, otherwise there was lots of sunshine with highs in the 70s and lows in the upper 30s and 40s.

The warmest high was 84 degrees on the 9th, while the coldest high was 64 degrees on the 13th. The coldest low was 34 degrees on the 24th, while the warmest low was 52 degrees on the 1st and 3rd. No records of temperature or rainfall were set during the month.

Overall, wind speeds for the month were a little below average, and there weren’t really any days that were windy all day. There were only 3 days with gusts of 35 mph or higher, with the highest gust of 48 mph occurring during a strong thunderstorm on the 4th.
