Sensing a pattern? Scattered thunderstorms today and tonight. High of 78.
One of the sites we link to in our middle column is the Old Farmer's Almanac. They have an interesting and informative weather area that includes an historical weather look-up for any day going back to 1973 (and most of North America). For example, last year in the city our weather was pretty much the same, if a bit colder. The day Gothamist was born in Louisiana, it was foggy and got up to 82--at the end of October! (Not sure why that should be surprising...)
