Summary

The November–December 1978 Beaver Beacon prints October and November weather tables with temperatures and precipitation figures.

Evidence and limits

This is a source-bounded local weather report, not a complete daily series or calibrated station archive.

Sources

  1. Reports October’s 67-degree high, 24-degree low, and 4.13 inches of precipitation, and November’s 64-degree high, 10-degree low, and 2.61 inches of precipitation. It is a local newspaper table, not a calibrated station archive or complete daily series. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
