..3RD WARMEST FEBRUARY ON RECORD
AFTER AN INCREDIBLY WARM MONTH, FORT WAYNE HAS OFFICIALLY CLINCHED
THE 3RD WARMEST FEBRUARY ON RECORD! ONLY FIVE DAYS THIS MONTH WERE
BELOW NORMAL; IN COMPARISON, 13 DAYS THIS MONTH WERE 10+ DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL! THERE WERE SIX DAYS THIS MONTH WITH A HIGH IN THE 60S,
WHICH INCLUDED A THREE DAY STREAK FROM FEBRUARY 26TH TO 28TH. ON
AVERAGE, FEBRUARY HAS ONE DAY IN THE 60S.
SEVERAL TEMPERATURE RECORDS WERE TIED OR BROKEN THIS MONTH. THERE
WERE TWO HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORDS BROKEN ON FEBRUARY 9TH AND 26TH.
THERE WERE ALSO TWO DAILY RECORD WARM LOW TEMPERATURES BROKEN ON
FEBRUARY 9TH AND 27TH. THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR FEBRUARY WAS 37.5
DEGREES, WHICH IS 8.8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THIS WAS THE WARMEST
FEBRUARY SINCE 2017 (39.8 DEGREES).
PRECIPITATION WAS TOUGH TO COME BY THIS MONTH. THE ONLY DAY WITH A
RAIN TOTAL OVER A QUARTER OF AN INCH WAS ON FEBRUARY 22ND WITH
0.49". PRECIPITATION TOTALED 0.96" FOR THE MONTH. THIS IS 1.10"
BELOW NORMAL AND TIED FOR THE 23RD DRIEST FEBRUARY ON RECORD. THIS
WAS THE DRIEST FEBRUARY SINCE 2007 (WHICH ALSO HAD 0.96" OF
PRECIPITATION) IN FORT WAYNE.
DUE TO THE ANOMALOUSLY WARM TEMPERATURES, SNOWFALL WAS NOTABLY
LACKING THIS MONTH. SNOWFALL TOTALED ONLY 2.7" FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH.
THIS IS 5.1" BELOW NORMAL AND TIED FOR THE 28TH LEAST SNOWIEST
FEBRUARY ON RECORD. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, DESPITE A LACK OF SNOW,
THE TOTAL SNOWFALL THIS MONTH WAS 1350% OF WHAT FELL LAST YEAR.
FEBRUARY 2023 ONLY TOTALED 0.2" OF SNOW.
