On 2 May, the high temperature for Des Moines set a record for coldest high temperature for that date. It was the first cold record (minimum high or low) record set at the site since early 2010! Des Moines had a streak of 55 straight hot records being set or tied without a cold record. This is easily the largest streak experienced at the site since 1900. The featured chart presents the largest hot and cold streaks of records. It is remarkable to see a period of three years without a single daily cold record being set. There is no other period comparable to this.
