Extremes in June
Posted: 24 Jun 2011 07:05 AM
This June has seen its fair share of extreme high temperature both on
the warm and cold side. The featured chart compares the number of days
above the 75th percentile with the number below the 25th for each June
back to 1893. An average year would see around 15 days per month
within these two intervals. Interestingly, it is much more rare to see
many days in a month below the 25th. This is because the cold patterns
tend to be more transient than the hot and dry patterns that can be
reinforced by ample sunshine and dry conditions.
