Upcoming September Slide

Posted: 30 Aug 2018 05:33 AM

After a sticky and stormy Tuesday, the weather felt amazing on Wednesday with sunshine, low humidity, and low 70s temperatures. It certainly felt like fall and a reminder that September is only two days away. The featured chart looks at the daily temperature climatology for Ames for September. Three different climatologies are shown as NCEI updates their standard climate period every ten years and the IEM generates a simple arithmetic average for each calendar date over the period of record. Regardless of the metric, the temperatures clearly slide downward for the month. We loose about 10 degrees of temperature from the start to the end of the month.
