The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-10-31
Weather for November.

Now that November stares the peo- pie in the face, and the weather prophets are wondering how cold 1t will be, whether there will be killing frost, or much snow, the following in formation, based on November weather in Birmingham for the last twelve years, will be of interest:
 The mean or normal temperature Tor November for a dozen years has been 55 degrees. The average temperature for the warmest November was 59, and for the coldest November was 50 de- grees. The odds are therefore, that November will be cold enough this year to cause the bringing out of over coats and furs. For the last twelve years. the average date for the first killing frost has been November D. ln- asmuch as there has been no killing frost to this date, the average may pan out again.
 November during the last twelve years has not been rainy month. The average precipitation is 2.96 inches. The greatest monthly precipitation was in 1900, when 5.S3 inches fell. The November of least precipitation was in 1903 when only .42 inches fell.
 The prevailing winds for the last dozen Novembers were from the north.
