Twin Cities See Rising October Heat Since 2010

Original: # Sport # Minnesota # USA # US Between 1961 and 1990, October temperatures never touched 90 degrees in the Twin Cities.

In the Twin Cities of Minnesota, October temperatures never reached 90 degrees between 1961 and 1990. Since 2010, however, there have been two instances of 90-degree heat in October, and days above 80 degrees are now about twice as likely as days in the 50s. The figures are being cited as evidence of a shifting climate making autumn markedly warmer than in previous decades.

Why now: Unseasonable October warmth in Minnesota is highlighting long-term climate change trends.
