According to local weather observer Phil Epley, Ada saw 2 inches of rain in September and 3 inches in October. This amount of 5 inches is only a quarter of an inch less than the historic average for the two-month period, according to Intellicast.
November begins dry and warm. Historic low and high temps for September are 28 in 1974 and 100 in 1953; for October, 18 in 1964 and 91 in 1953.
