How did EWR fair with 80 degree days this year? Was wondering if was a top 10 or Top 5. Also, assumed October was one of the sunnier months on records.

Light rain within sght.

50 / 35 from 32. A bit more clouds today as ridge builds in and we warm up, low to mid 60s. Much warmer Tue - Thu with near / low 80s on Wednesday. Cooler but still overall warmer by Fri and the coming weekend. Perhaps a chance of more than a trace of rain Sunday into Monday with showers and light rain (7 weeks) we'll see. Overall warmer than normal with the dry pattern continuing. Watching what will be named Rafael in the Gulf for a late season GOM storm.

On November 1st, 1848, Joseph Henry and Navy meteorologist James Espy wrote a letter urging anyone interested in becoming a weather observer to signify their willingness to do so. By 1849, he had budgeted $1,000 for the Smithsonian meteorological project and established a network of some 150 volunteer weather observers.

Will have to ask BW or Don if October was the least cloudy calendar month on record, also wondering where EWR was in 2024 for # of 80 degree days.
