Weather Elsewhere This is particularly true under sunny conditions when high daytime readings may offset cool nights and raise the average soil temperature rapidly. Similary, cool, cloudy weather will result in a significant drop in average soil temperature since subsoils have not accumulated a great amount of heat this early in the season. Records show that near normal temperature averages for this period will run about 64 degrees for the week ending May 2, and about 66 degrees for the week ending May 9. Within this range of weekly air temperature averages we can look for soil temperatures to average about 68 degrees, particularly under a sunny, dry pattern.
