Warmest Year to Date
Posted: 10 Mar 2015 05:40 AM
Some of the warmest temperatures so far this year were experienced on Monday with the
high temperature approaching 60 degrees for Des Moines. The featured chart looks at the
climatology of warmest temperature to date. Up until recently, we have been under
performing as we had a very cold February. The overall chart mean is shown by the black
line and the changes in slope over the first half of the year are interesting. March and April
are months during which we rapidly warm up as snow struggles to stick around and warm
air masses from our southwest advect in.
