Little Early for 80

Posted: 09 Apr 2019 05:35 AM

Temperatures on Monday rocketed well into the 70s and even 80s for some lucky locations in the state. Waterloo was one such location and the featured chart indicates it was a little bit early for such a warm temperature. The chart presents the combination of first date of the year at or above 80 degrees and the number of days that year meeting that criterion. This year's value comes in around the 25th percentile, so roughly one in four years have seen 80 degrees by 8 April for Waterloo. Sadly, it will be a bit before 80 degrees returns!
