Yesterday, Los Angeles, California set their all time record high temperature of 113! This may seem weird for the calendar showing the near end of September. The featured chart shows the yearly maximum temperature for Ames and the day of the year that high was reported (ties are included). The distribution of that high temperature and day of year is presented as well. For the most part, the warmest temperature occurs in July and it is somewhere in the mid 90s. The color coding of the dots shows if that year had above or below normal precipitation. It makes sense that most of the warmest numbers occured during relatively drier years.
