As cold as the January weather has been, the December warm weather was more extreme.
The recent lows in the mid teens don’t even come close to breaking any records for those dates, which are around five degrees. Whereas the highs in December were in the top five ever for those dates when the highs reached 77 degrees.
On average for the year, Mississippi temperatures are an ideal 68 degrees, but we definitely have some variation. Just toward the end of winter, I forget the heavy summer bake and start longing for warmth.
