Two days of 96+

Posted: 31 Aug 2012 04:49 AM

Thursday was the second of two very warm days for late August in Iowa. Des Moines hit 97 after reaching 96 on Wednesday. This is latest date for two straight days with such a warm temperature since 1990. The featured chart presents the latest date for having two days at or above a given high temperature threshold. For example, having two days at or above 90 has happened as late as the first week of October. While Friday will be slightly cooler, we will stay above average until the middle of next week.

Voting:
Good = 128
Bad = 23
