Temperatures this week are a refreshing break from the scorching heat and humidity last week. The previous week was the warmest seven day period so far this year. The featured chart presents the warmest seven day period each year for Des Moines. The color of the bars represents the average temperature for that seven days and the bottom chart shows a histogram of which day of the year participated in that period. The days of last week are certainly the climatological peak for the year, but there still plenty of chances during August that we could experience an even warmer week.
