Almanac information is a way of looking at and recording the normal high and low temperatures for the time of year. Normal temperatures are based on the 30-year average high and low temperatures on that date between 1991 and 2020. For example, if you took all the high temperatures for each September 11th day between 1991 and 2020 and averaged all 30 values, the result would be 76. So the normal high for the day is 76 degrees. Recorded high and low temperature data go back to 1895. Sunrise and sunset data are also provided. All information is valid for Mount Pleasant.
