A good time for a weather comparison

We've heard from friends and seen on the news that the weather in St. Louis has been pretty rough recently. I saw on STLToday that over 500,000 people lost power. Honestly, that happens here daily with the electrical loadshedding, but we obviously don't have the cold weather that makes the situation a safety risk.

About a month ago I was thinking to myself, "I'm so happy it's cloudy today!" and it occurred to me that people back home were probably hoping for sunshine now that the weather is cooler. I thought it might be fun to show everyone why I was excited about the cloud cover. Check out the graph below for a comparison of the average monthly highs and lows for Chesterfield, Missouri, and Kampala, Uganda.
