The featured map displays the frequency of a long term climate site being above the statewide average daily high temperature. Rewording, how often is the location in the warmest half of the high temperatures reported for the date (assuming that the statewide average is close to the median). The north to south gradient should not be a surprise to Iowans, but there are some subtle features such as the difference over the southern tier of counties. Decorah is analyzed with the lowest frequency, so if you don't mind seeing warmer temperatures over much of the state than your location, you should consider living there.
