Daytime Temperature Change
Posted: 12 Nov 2013 05:35 AM
Winter made an appearance on Monday in Iowa with rapidly dropping temperatures and a
brief dusting of snow causing some travel difficulties. The air temperature for Des Moines
at 6 AM was 46 degrees Fahrenheit and by 2 PM was only 28, which makes for an eighteen
degree drop. The featured chart presents the weekly frequency of temperature change
between 6 AM and 2 PM for Des Moines. For most days, the temperature warms for this
period and the most frequent warming occurring during the strong heating of the summer
season. Large negative drops, like that on Monday, are relegated to the cold season when
fronts are stronger (larger temperature contrasts). Temperatures today will warm from their
6 AM value, but barely warm to just above freezing for some in the state!
