Have you ever wondered what “normal” — as in “the temperature today was 5 degrees above normal” - is?
Well, it’s about to change.
Normal temperatures are determined by a thirty year average of temperatures. Every ten years the average is reset by dropping the earliest decade’s numbers. The change is about to take place and the new normal temperatures will be the average of temperatures from 1990 through 2020.
So, as in so many things in our lives, what’s “normal” will soon be the “new normal.”
