Reaching 75+ in April
Posted: 19 Apr 2019 05:32 AM
Low temperatures on Saturday are forecast to start off chilly in the 30s, but then recover
into the mid 70s. Is this common for April? The featured chart attempts to address that by
looking at hourly temperature distributions on days with a high temperature of at least 75
degrees for Ames. The distributions are shown by box and whisker plots showing the
inter-quartile range box and whiskers out two sigma. For these days, the overnight
temperatures are typically in the upper 40s or lower 50s. The forecast situation on
Saturday is not too rare though as plenty of events are indicated by the chart.
