Temperatures were amazing on Monday with highs in the 70s after the blistering hot Saturday with highs in the upper 90s. The difference between Friday and Monday is certainly noticeable when computing metrics like daily high temperature percentile as shown by the featured chart for Ames. There's a lot of variability shown in the chart as we have not had much for persistent hot nor cold so far this year. About the longest stretch of either was in late March and early April. The present near term forecast has pleasant temperatures for this week, but the first week of August is currently forecast to be very hot and again it is unclear how long that hot stretch will stick around.
