70+ after first sub 25
Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:39 AM
Des Moines came up one degree short on Monday of extending a streak of six days at or above 70
degrees for daily high temperature. Having such warm days is doing well considering the very cold
conditions just a few weeks back in October with numerous rounds of snow as well. The featured
chart presents some metrics on having warm temperatures after the first fall temperature below 25
degrees. The top panel shows the maximum temperature for the period between the aforementioned
date and the end of the year. The middle panel shows the maximum temperature against the date of
the first sub 25 reading. The bottom panel shows the number of days each year with a high
temperature of at least 70 degrees. The 2020 total of six days shown in the bottom panel is doing
rather well considering the long term simple average is only one day. It appears unlikely that we will
see such warm days again this season, but the year is still 2020 and about anything remains possible
including severe storms over southeastern Iowa today.
