Our stretch of amazingly warm weather for February is drawing to a close today. For Ottumwa, the daily high temperature for six out of the last seven days has either been set or tied. This included a streak of four consecutive days between the 16th and 19th. This feat is extremely rare and gets more difficult to achieve with each passing year. Having such a streak has not happened for the site since 1939. The featured chart displays the number of new daily high temperature records set each year. The epic warm year of 2012 sticks out and the current year accumulation as well. The black line represents a simple statistic for approximately how many daily records one would expect in a year.
