On Wednesday, August started off where July left off as temperatures soared into the upper 90s. This year has seen more than its fair share of hot days. The featured chart presents the number of days during 2012 that were warmer than even the warmest day of a given previous year. For example, there have been 31 days this year in Des Moines that were warmer than the warmest temperature for all of 2004! The overall chart average is 13 days, which is remarkable. The hot weather looks to continue with another wave of really hot temperatures arriving next week.
