On This Day In Weather History - May 23

Local

1935   The high temperature at the Municipal Airport was a cool 56 degrees, and helped make May 1935 the fourth coolest of record. This following the blistering drought of 1934 must have been a blessing in the pre-air conditioning era.


National

1878   An F4 tornado struck Mineral Point, WI killing 17 and injuring 45. A record book was carried 60 miles from a schoolhouse. In Primrose Township, the deed to Chandler Farm was found 10 miles away.
