Clear Skies and 70s in August

Posted: 23 Aug 2018 05:33 AM

The weather in Iowa on Wednesday was about as nice as one can expect in August. We had the rare combination of clear skies, low humidities, and temperatures in the 70s. The featured chart looks into the combination of clear skies and temperature for 4 PM August observations for Sioux City. The observation on Wednesday was 74 degrees and clear skies at the time. The featured chart indicates that less than 20% of the time when the temperature was at that level there were clear skies present. The chart indicates the intuitive relationship that clear skies tend to support hotter temperatures.
