Maximum after last Maximum
Posted: 17 Sep 2012 05:38 AM
This weekend saw very pleasant temperatures with highs in the upper 70s
and 80s. A cold front is set to bring a regime change to our weather
today. Will this be the last we see of the 80s? The featured chart
looks at the warmest high temperature after having a high temperature
at or above a given threshold for the period including the rest of the
calendar year. The maximum, average, and minimum of these yearly values
is presented. The point of the chart is that typically these
temperature step-downs in the fall happen in about 3-5 degree
increments. The minimum values show that some years can see dramatic
changes with highs in the low 70s and then not broaching 50 degrees for
the rest of the year. These events happen much later in the year than
September.
