Thought this would be fun....
Using a beta tested site I got this for Hartford....



Hartford, CT Max temp of 50.3° and low temp of 30.8° this November is similar to Salt Lake City, Utah's normal.


For the Fall season, the 68° max and 46° min is similar to Kansas City, Missouri normal.

Explanation of "Most Similar City"


The most similar city identifies, for the observed period of recent weather, where in the United States the 30-year normal maximum and minimum temperature are most similar.

The most similar city is calculated using a Euclidean distance formula based on maximum and minimum temperatures.

Temperatures for the selected stations are compared to climate normals for different cities across the country.

(Max Temp, Min Temp) values are based on 1981-2010 normals data for this station, averaged over each period.


The Euclidean distance formula is calculated for the period as follows:

√(AVG(maxtempO) - AVG(maxtempN))2 + (AVG(mintempO) - AVG(mintempN))2

The city with the smallest value is the 'Most similar city'

I would say that both November to date and meteorological fall to date here in Phoenix are comparable to Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico's normals

Let us see

November

Phoenix actual=28.62°C/15.53°C//22.08°C
Hermosillo normal=29.38°C/14.73°C//22.06°C

Meteorological fall

Phoenix actual=33.74°C/20.15°C//26.95°C
Hermosillo normal=33.84°C/20.00°C//26.92°C

I was thinking about you. That site I have only does U.S and I figured yours would be like equator or somewhere close. lol .


It showed Ft Myers as closest but you're Hermosillo comparison looks better, almost dead on.

This past October here was kind of similar to a normal October in Riverside, CA (Inland Empire of Los Angeles area).

Oct 2017 here was 82.8/55.9F with 0.47" of rain. Normal for Riverside, CA is 83.4/54.6F with 0.51" of rain.

I feel like a year or two ago we had a thread with a similar site where it find most similar climates. I think the creator of the site actually joined to see what people here thought about it. Anyone remember?

It's called Weather Similarity but actually seems to measure climate similar to a selected location.

Would this be the one?

What location does your recent weather compare to?

Where I currently live? Why do I care about places where I don't live? I just know it's not like any other place where I have lived.
