Twin Cities, MN – It was a record-setting Sunday across central Minnesota as temperatures soared into the mid-50s, breaking long-standing November records. According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities, both the Twin Cities and St. Cloud hit 56°F, setting new daily highs for November 23.
In the Twin Cities, the previous record of 55°F had stood since 1905, while St. Cloud’s old record of 53°F dated back to 2021 and 2006. The warm streak comes less than a week before the final stretch of November, a month that typically sees highs in the upper 30s.
Meteorologists said the unseasonably warm air was driven by a strong ridge pattern across the Midwest, bringing mild southerly winds and abundant sunshine. The NWS added a playful note, asking residents: “Will our next daily high of 56° or warmer occur before or after April 1st of next year?”
The forecast for early this week calls for a return to cooler, more seasonable temperatures, with highs in the 30s by midweek.
