November was a warm and wet month.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio the month was about five degrees above normal and was very wet. Wet enough it eased growing drought conditions across the region.

November was also a very cloudy month. Shimon indicates just seven days in November qualified as 'mostly sunny'.

Central Illinois has seen its share of severe weather in November but according to Shimon, the severe weather was quiet this year.

Shimon notes November hit a record-high on November 18 and then a record-low on November 19.
