If one considers the summer season to be the warmest 91 day stretch of the year, we may already completed it as shown by the featured chart for Ames. Currently, August 24th is denoted as the end of the warmest 91 day period, but it could change with hot weather pulling the average back up and thus establishing a new high mark for the year. Regardless, the chart also displays some statistics on the start date of fall and how long the season lasts. The length is defined as the period between the end of the 91 day warmest stretch and then the start of the 91 day coolest stretch. The averages show that fall goes by more quickly than spring with an average of 85 days!
