I always say people have short memories when it comes to weather. I have heard people say “I can’t remember it being this warm in January” today. Keep in mind it was 12 degrees in Alabama just this past Wednesday morning.
Look at some of the daily record highs, and the year when they were recorded…
January 10: 81 in 1949
January 20: 78 in 1928
January 1: 78 in 1952
January 14: 78 in 1932
Most all of the record warmth in January here has come in in the decade of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Few records for warmth have been recorded in the past three decades.
Yes, it does get warm in January in Alabama. Always has, and always will. We are a low latitude state. We just have a hard time remembering…
