New Canaan resident Tom Ferguson, who has tracked weather trends for more than 38 years, will speak to the New Canaan Men’s Club Friday, Sept. 12, about weather trends in New Canaan and the impact of climate change.
Pick a date during the past nearly 40 years, and Ferguson has a record of conditions that day, whether it rained, snowed or was sunny, what prevailing temperatures were and other notable elements of that day’s weather.
The Men’s Club meets in Morrill Hall at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church beginning at 10 a.m. Ferguson is slated to begin his remarks around 10:40 a.m., after the business portion of the meeting.
Trained as an actuary, Tom made his career in the consulting and insurance industries. But having become fascinated by weather since he was 14-years old, he will speak about the changing weather patterns he’s tracked, noting that heat waves have become more intense, widespread forest fires have become more frequent and hurricanes and floods have become more devastating. Ferguson is an active member of many New Canaan organizations, including Staying Put in New Canaan and Waveny Life Care Network.
The Men’s Club has openings for new members, men 55-years old and above. For information about joining, email: ncmens@ncmens.info.
