...A Review of 2019 Weather And Climate Data for Pine Bluff...
Summary
======================================================================
In terms of annual temperature, 2019 at Pine Bluff was exactly the same
as 2018...just slightly above average in terms of highs and lows. There
was an 80-degree temperature range during the year, with the hottest
temperature reaching 99 degrees (September 18th), and the coldest
temperature falling to 19 degrees (November 13th).
Rainfall was frequent during the year, and significantly above average.
However, it was not as excessive as 2018, and was actually the driest
year in two years. There were 105 days with measurable rainfall (that
is rainfall of 0.01 of an inch or more), which was the fewest since
2017. Rainfall was deficient in March, September, November, and
December, and excess all other months. The driest month was December,
and the wettest month was July (which tends to be one of the driest months).
Snow fell in January, February, November, and December, but was not measurable.
2019 was the first year at Pine Bluff without measurable snowfall since 2009,
and only the 7th in the last 30 years with no measurable snowfall.
Below are averages and extremes observed during the year.
Remember...most of the data below is preliminary until certified
correct by the National Center for Environmental Information in
Asheville, North Carolina.
