DAYTON — On an average year from July 1 to December 8, Dayton has about 240 total hours of feels like temperatures below 26 degrees. This year has had a 30% increase as compared to last year’s hours! Hey it’s Stormcenter 7 Meteorologist Ryan Marando.
So far, Dayton has had 11 days in a row of temperatures being below average. That started on Thanksgiving and is going to continue easily for the next week or more. Our average high as of December 8 is 44.
Once we make it to 14 days, that’ll be the longest stretch this year of consecutive days below average.
