October 2023 heat wave

It got up to 90 here in the Twin Cities yesterday.  Temperatures in the 60s would be closer to normal. For the first time, the Twin Cities Marathon which was supposed to take place yesterday was canceled due to extreme heat.

The weather in Minnesota in the Fall is unpredictable. It will be hot today too. We may even see 90 again. Later this week the weather will be more October-like.

I took this picture during the 2009 Twin Cities Marathon. It was cool that day and rainy too. People in the picture are wearing hoodies and jackets. It was a typical early October morning.

In the last few years, several events have been canceled due to weather or because of the pandemic. We can look forward to more canceled, postponed, or changed events due to the weather.
