How much warm weather is left?

Posted: 20 Oct 2011 05:56 AM

With our recent few days of temperatures well below average, one wonders how many warm days are left this year! The featured plot presents the observed frequency of having a given number of days with a high temperature at or above a given temperature from now until the end of this year. For example, 80% of the years since 1893 experienced a high temperature of 70 on at least one day, but only 20% of the years experienced a total of 7 days at 70. The forecast puts us back into 60s after a chilly day today in the lower 50s.
