This year, the average daily low was 54F and the average daily high was
68F.

No, two years do not make a climate trend. However, I see year-to-year
increasing averages of lows and highs in my area over the entire 9 years
for which I have daily January data. I also see similar trends for the
other months over the 8 years for which I have daily data for each month.


how are you doing for rain?

Locally, we have had more rain already in 4 months than all of the prior
12 months; but we are still below average. I just heard that San
Francisco had zero rain this January; that was the first time since
records were kept (over 150 years) that San Francisco had a dry January.
