Rose Parade Weather
Happy New Year!
What are your favorite New Year’s traditions?
My favorite traditions include staying up the night before to ring in the New Year (usually by watching a certain glittery ball drop on TV and drinking sparkling cider), watching the Rose Parade in the morning, and watching football.
Unfortunately since I don’t have extended cable right now, I will not be able to watch (at least on TV) the Rose Bowl or watch Oklahoma beat UConn in the Fiesta Bowl. I’m disappointed that ESPN now has the rights to the BCS bowl games, though at least they are available to watch online.
Anyway, with regards to the Rose Parade, it looks like the weather in Pasadena will be fairly pleasant, although there is a slight chance for some rain.
In the history of the Rose Parade, going back to 1890, it has only rained on the parade 9 times!
The last time it rained on the parade was in 2006, and before that 1955.
The average high temperature for Pasadena on New Year’s Day is 67 °F (the average low is 44 °F).
The National Weather Service is calling for partly cloudy skies tomorrow with a high of 55 °F. Rain is not in the forecast until Sunday.
The Weather Channel is forecasting a high of 62 °F with partly cloudy skies and a 20% chance of rain.
Enjoy your holiday, however you spend it, and best wishes for a happy 2011!
