November 24 Cold Temperatures For Indianapolis
The NWS forecast for tomorrow for Indianapolis is calling for a high temperature of 26º and a low temperature of 15º. So where do these temperatures rank for all November 24's in the recorded history of Indianapolis?
Needless to say, the record cold temperatures of 9º and -1º won't be touched. But the potential maximum temperature of 26º would tie for the 5th coldest...and the minimum temperature of 15º would be the 10th coldest.
Only 11 November 24's have had a max temperature in the 20's or lower...17 have had a min temperature of teens or lower.
Records for Indianapolis date back to 1871.
