100 degree Frequency

Posted: 19 Jun 2012 05:36 AM

Temperatures soared on Monday well into the 90s and may have hit 100 degrees in some very isolated locations in southwestern Iowa. Hitting 100 degrees is not that common of an event in Iowa, in particular within the recent few decades. The featured chart presents a crude analysis of the frequency of daily 100 degree temperature readings for Iowa. Southwestern Iowa is clearly the favored location along with perhaps a secondary maximum over southeastern Iowa as well. Another very warm day is expected today with highs again well into the 90s.

Good = 38
