Our best is only 86

Posted: 15 Jun 2009 06:13 AM

Since the first of May, the warmest temperature recorded in Ames was 86 degrees back in mid May. This ranks as the third lowest high temperature for the period as compared with all other years back to 1893. It is disconcerting to see the years 1993 and 2008 (flood years) show up on this plot as well. There is some hope in the forecast for warmer weather with highs back in the 80s by Wednesday.

Voting:
Good = 16
