INDIANAPOLIS — It’s been a long time since we’ve had temperatures this warm this late in the season.
The high so far Tuesday in Indianapolis is just shy of the daily record (81°), but it is the first day of at least 80 degrees this late in the season in 74 years. In fact, it’s one of only eight days since 1871 of 80°+ on or after Oct. 29.
The “low” temperatures are also notable in central Indiana. Many areas woke to a balmy breeze and the 60s. Indianapolis only dropped to 63° so far today, which ties the daily warm minimum temperature for today and is one of only five days this late in the season with of low of 63°+. Truly “rare air” anyway you slice it and we’ve got another day of similar ahead on Wednesday…
