Very wet and cool is how most Minnesotans will remember October 2019, and rightfully so. Average temperatures for the month ranged from 3 to 5 degrees cooler than normal.

This October ranked as the 21st coolest and the 6th wettest in state history, with a statewide average precipitation of just under 4 inches.

Retired University of Minnesota meteorologist Mark Seeley discusses the weather with Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer.
