Sheffield Summary August 2020

August was a month of two quite different halves - first half being warm, fairly sunny and dry.
The second half was very cool, and extremely unsettled. So much rain fell that it was one of the wettest augusts on record.
The late August bank holiday weekend was the coldest on record.
Overall it was much wetter, cloudier (exact figures not available yet) and milder than average.
August followed one of the cloudiest July on record, as can be seen with its abominable figure of 117 hours of sun.

Data for all of 2020 so far.

Turned out to be a good summer. This August was also quite warm very sunny and very dry, but it was a weird temperature pattern across the state. Just to the south of the Chicago area temps were actually below average.

[Veritas Vincit]

Arlington, VA:


Max high: 93F (Aug 27 & 28)
Min high: 77F (Aug 16 & 31)
Avg high: 87F



Max low: 79F (Aug 2)
Min low: 66F (Aug 16, 17, 30)
Avg low: 72F


Precipitation: 8.73 inches (much of it around Isaias & Laura remnants)


Overall the most notable aspect would be the lack of high-end heat. It's rare for August to top out at 93.
