The meteorological spring season (March, April, May) is complete and for average temperatures it was easily the warmest on record. The featured chart presents the spring season average high, high+low, and low temperature for each year since 1893 for Iowa. 2012 was not only the warmest year on record for this period, but by a rather large margin. This was thanks to the epic warmth in March. Our recent stretch of weather has seen its share of cooler than average days and the forecast for this week has us in the upper 70s and lower 80s for high temperatures.
