Yesterday's feature compared 2012 total number of days above a given
high temperature threshold for Des Moines with the maximum for any
year. Today's feature is a slight modification showing the number of
days above a given threshold for every year for the period up till 11
September. For temperatures above 100, 1934 and 1936 stand apart from
any other year. But for lower temperature thresholds, this year shows
a remarkable departure from other years. Much of this was thanks to one
of the most extremely warm months on record, March 2012. The forecast
for the next week has our weather turning much more fall like and very
comfortable!
