7.13.12 Friday the 13th Weather Isn't So 'Spooky'

Posted: Updated:

It's Friday the 13th.

Are you scared?

You probably shouldn't be.

I looked up the weather in Burlington from the previous 'Friday the 13ths' and found extremely pleasant weather.

The data I'm about to show you goes back five years and there have been ten Friday the 13ths during that time.  There were just two 'scary' days out of ten. Otherwise the weather has been ridiculously quiet :)

Friday July 13, 2012: FORECAST Sunny and hazy. High: 93. Low: 60

Friday April 13, 2012: Sunny. High: 63. Low 31. Precip: 0.00" (+3°)

Friday January 13, 2012: Thick fog, ice pellets (snow). High: 39. Low: 25. Precip: 0.38" Snow: 4.0" (+9°)

Friday May 13, 2011: Sunny. High: 77. Low: 53. Precip: 0.00" (+9°)

Friday, August 13, 2010: Sunny. High: 83. Low: 63. Precip: 0.00" (+4°)

Friday, November 13, 2009: Sunny. High: 56. Low: 25. Precip: 0.00" (+3°)

Friday, March 13, 2009: Sunny. High: 33. Low: 9. Precip: 0.00" (-9°)

Friday, February 13, 2009: Sunny. High: 29. Low: 15. Precip: 0.00" (+3°)

Friday June 13, 2008: Sunny. High: 82. Low: 50. Precip: 0.00" (+1°)

Friday July 13, 2007: Thunderstorms. High: 74. Low: 57. Precip: 0.64" (-5°)

There you have it! I highlighted the sections to show all the sunny days, and also the warmer/cooler than average days. Eight out of the last ten Friday the 13ths have been warmer than average and eight of them have been dry.  So for a spooky day, the weather is far from frightening!
