Question Hi Dave I'm getting married on November 3rd 2007 in Richmond Virginia. I was wondering if you could possibly tell me what you think about the weather?
Thanks
Holly
Answer Holly,
Of course, it is way too early to give you specific weather for that date. However, here are the normals and records for Richmond, Virginia on November 3rd.
Normal high/low: 64/41
Record low for the date: 23-1930
Record high for the date: 83-1974
In early November, it usually rains about every three or four days in Richmond.
I hope this helped.
Sincerely,
Dave Dombek
