Fun Facts Louisville KY Year in Review 2015

One of my favorite segments is about stuff that, well, really doesn't matter....It's just for fun.

Louisville:

Question: Among the recorded high and low temperatures for each day of the month, what was the most common temperature?

Answer: 68 degrees (24x)
              70 degrees (23x)

Question: How does this compare with San Diego CA?

Answer: San Diego
              67 degrees (41x)
              70 degrees (41x)

Question: How many days was measurable precipitation (>=0.01") recorded?

Answer: 126

Question: How does this compare with Seattle WA, including annual precipitation?

Answer: Louisville 126 days and 62.51"
              Seattle 144 days and 44.83"

***An additional comparison can be found on the Big Island at Hilo. Despite measurable rainfall that occurred some 252 days and exceeded normal values by 20.62", at 147.34", Hilo recorded its warmest year on record with 76.1 degrees average temperature. No doubt El Nino had a hand in that one.

Louisville exceeded it normal value by 17.6", but an annual temperature of about 59.4 degrees ranked around 5 or 6 in the top ten warmest years on record.

Question: How many days did Louisville record measurable snowfall (>=0.1")?

Answer:  10. Remember, the snow calendar ran from July 1 2014 through June 30 2015.

***In contrast, Boston recorded 36 days with snowfall measuring at least 0.1" during its record-setting winter season.

Well, this is just a partial summary of the year in review. I may be able to post a few more non-important tidbits in a future post.
