I've seen a couple TikToks of people rankings the months of the year. And since I only watch TikToks and don't make them, you guys get to hear my list.
12.
February - Dreary, cold, we're all over winter
11.
January - Dreary, cold, the Christmas magic is over, but feels
slightly brighter and happier than February
10.
March - Feels like it should be spring, but is usually cold, but an end is near
9.
September - Still hot, but starting to cool off. Summer has ended. Back to school is bittersweet.
8.
April - Spring is beginning. Can be a mixed bag of weather.
7.
November - Starting to get cold, but usually not
too bad. Football season. The start of Christmas season. Still fallish for the beginning.
6.
August - Very hot. Often the fun of summer is over, but it's still summer. The "Sunday of Summer".
5.
May - Weather becomes nicer. Summer on the horizon.
4.
October - Fall weather. Fall vibes. Peak of leaves changing. The start of the "holiday months". Peak of football weather.
3.
December - Christmas carries the whole month, otherwise it'd be very low.
2.
July - Peak of summer, although hot. Often when the random "fun days" are during summer. Very social month.
1.
June - Start of summer. Perfect weather. Usually when my Disney trips are. Also a very social month.
Feel free to post your rankings, whether you have an explanation or not.
I really don’t have any rankings from least to most favorite (or vice versa
) month here, per se, as, other than the summer heat (which we do love
), extremes in the other direction are rare enough not to be of much consequence.
So, I’ll just list the months of the year from Jan.-Dec., with a bit of a description.
January - Generally cooler/colder than December, of course, as in we might even get some ice and/or snow. But, there are usually still plenty of milder days.
February - Pretty much like January, but usually a bit colder than January, with a generally better chance of ice and/or snow, as in our infamous “SNOWMAGEDDON 2021…!!!!!!!!!!!”
Our low temp that year was 5F, during that event.
March - Things start to warm up, but we tend to have our last cold snap early in the month.
The wildflowers begin to bloom about the middle of the month.
April - things are warming up even more, and the wildflowers are usually in full bloom until about the middle of the month. A LOT of spring photos being taken in/with said wildflowers…!!!
May - Temps continuing to rise, and this is also, typically, our wettest month, including severe t-storm watches/warnings, tornado watches/warnings, and such.
We also, many times, have had our first triple digit temps show up during May.
June - Things are getting hot and dry. The middle of the month is usually about the time the “lather, rinse, repeat” deep summer heat cycle starts. The predictors of weather begin to have a real easy job…!!!
July - Essentially, “lather, rinse, repeat” hot and dry, on repeat all month, but even hotter than June.
August - Usually, even hotter and dryer than July. We tied our record high static air temp of 112F on August 28, 2011.
September - August temps, typically, continue into the first half of the month. We reached our first record high 112F static air temp on September 5, 2000.
Things finally start to cool off a little during the last half of the month.
October - We usually get our first real cold snap during October, and, by about the end of the month, any tree leaves that are going to change color do so. Mild weather days mixed in.
November - Pretty much like October, but, generally, getting cooler. We’ve had a coupla’ first dustings of snow during November.
December - Usually getting cooler yet, and we’ve also had our first snow dustings in December, as well. But we’ve also been known to do some Christmas shopping in our summer clothing (TSSFF
)…!!!
Outdoor activities/sports abound here year ‘round. And, for those of you who know me, there hasn’t been a month yet where I haven’t made several TSSFFBR’s…!!!!!!!
