Our daylight time gets longer and the sun gets higher in the sky each day in February, but does that make a difference for our day to day high temperature. The featured chart shows the frequency of day to day high temperature changes by month for Ames. While there is a clear annual signal, the magnitude of the cycle is not that large. The annual climatology of temperature is only a gentle tug on day to day changes. Our daily temperatures are dominated by weather systems and the translation of air masses over the state. Our highs this week will creep a bit higher and then be cooler to end the week.
