QUESTION: McArthur, Ohio  45651

Answer
Cindy,

There is no way that I can give you any reliable weather information for the dates that you have picked. It is way too far in advance. However, I can give you normals and records for that time of year. Here goes...

August 27th: Normal high 82, Normal low 62. Record high around 100 degrees, record low around 46 or 47 degrees.

October 15th: Normal high 67, Normal low 44. Record highs are in the mid 80s to near 90. Record lows are in the upper 20s to near 30.

In late August, it generally rains once every three or four days. In the middle of October, it usually rains once every four days.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Dave Dombek
