The month of August in Atlantic was slightly warmer than average during the day, and nearly average on the cool side. The Average High of 87 was about four-degrees warmer than normal, while the Average Low of 62 was just one-degree shy of normal. The warmest day was August 23rd, when we topped out at 95. And, on the Low side of the thermometer, Aug. 49-degrees was popular for a few days. The temp was set on the 13th, 14th and 15th.

Precipitation-wise, despite heavy rain at the end of the month, Atlantic still ended-up with a deficit of .72″, even thought our total for the month was 3.16-inches. Normally, we receive 3.83 inches of rain in August. The most rain fell on the 30th, at 2.1-inches. The last time we received in excess of two-inches of rain in a single day, was back on Aug. 17, 2019.

Looking ahead to the month of September, we can expected an Average High of 76-degrees, an Average Low of 51, and rain typically amounting to 3.81-inches. We’ll let you know how the data compared to the norm,  when we compile the data on October 1^st.
