1 answer
The student's observations suggest a change in weather patterns, particularly with the drop in temperature and the transition from sunny to cloudy and rainy weather. The most likely explanation for these observations is:
A cold front moved into the area.
This option explains the drop in temperature (as cold fronts typically bring cooler air) and the changes from sunny to cloudy and rainy conditions, which can occur when a cold front passes through.
