THE FIRST DAY OF FALL
Starting with temperatures in the nineties
Walking to class, dripping in sweat: something one would expect to go through in the hot, humid days of June, July or August, but this year, the heat and humidity is occurring in September, on the first day of fall. As the Missourian article "Warm weather defies seasonal norm," by Jessica Bassett, reports, today temperatures were in the summer range, hitting the low-90s, allowing everyone to wonder if it really is the first day of the fall season. The article also reports that the hottest temperature hit on this day was 97 degrees in 1937.
While we are stuck in the heat, we should be grateful that it is not ten years ago, as the coldest temperature, a bone-chilling 33 degrees, was hit in 1995.
