Here is a real NOAA Weather Map from the past.

What time of year would you say it is according to the station reports that were taken at 1 a.m. CDT?

When was this weather?

For those of you new to weather maps, the round circles represent reporting stations. The number in the upper left hand corner is the temperature. The one in the lower left hand corner is the dew point.

You might be surprised to find that it is from the morning of Saturday, July 15, 1967. The low in the Magic City that morning was 51F, a record for any July. Birmingham recorded four days that month with lows in the 50s.
