And when I was a kid. The average temperature never reached 56.5 F. That is the current average temperature based off of the remaining highs and lows predicted for October.

The highest average during my child hood was 54.1F

Edit to add. 2014 saw 57f average. The highest in my lifetime. So this year ranks #2.
