Warmest Five Days
Posted: 25 Aug 2020 05:35 AM
It seems likely that places like Des Moines are currently experiencing their warmest five day stretch of
average daily high temperature so far this year. The featured chart presents the warmest such period
each year along with the frequency of an individual day of the year participating in warmest period.
For the top panel, the bars are colored by the average high temperature for that period of days. The
middle of July has the highest frequencies shown and that is also when the daily average high
temperature peaks for the year, which would help boost the odds for a given year. Having such a
stretch happen during the end of August is not unusual though with frequencies really dropping off by
the second week of September.
